Why does the sub not work?
All I have done is to put the two lines of code into a sub so not to have to repeat them multiple times the variables are global!

when you move code to a sub it should work just fine as long as you have enough $hwstack since it will create an additional stack level.
you really should post something we can check. for example the version that works, and the version you modified and doesnt.

Hello Mark
Trouble is posting a version that works is its too big, now 14 inter-related subs I can only put the whole lot up as a zip but I just posted the small bit of code to show that simply putting it into the sub it did not work , it compiles ok just does not work , as you say just moving it to a sub should work Note the stacks are fine I added 100 to each to test if they were the problem.
Just for interest sake and it shows how to do redirection in the browser, here is the whole sub with multiples of those 2 lines you can see where I commented the calls. Also I tried making Wsize global I am not going to try to find this it wastes too much time it works ok with multiples of the 3lines of code, just thought maybe I was doing something wrong.

of course i mean you need to zip it.
just as with support, i do not have time to look at big programs. so i usually ask for 2 versions : one that is ok, and one that is modified. Or the code can have some remarks that must be unremarked or remarked to show the problem. i then check both codes with windiff or so and also the output. but posting fragments of code is not helping since i can not compile. i do not have time to add in the missing vars. and even when i have, i could use different types which lead to possible different results.
now you said you just moved the lines. but that is not true for the code you show. (at least when you mean buffer_send)
- you added a new var and also use a new name now for the return result. maybe your code depends on the first used var name?
if you really only move code then it means you select, cut and replace with a call.
