Thanks for the cleaning array tip, i didnt know that existed

password is plain text
username is plain text
email is plain text all passed through the address bar, recieved by $_REQUEST absolutely fine

but after including global and initialising the datamanager the variables i have assigned the value of the passed parameters empty, so i had to move the $_REQUEST being passed into a variable lower in the script to keep the value's for use to pass to the datamanager to create a user.
