This gives the actual filesystem path of the parent file. It should be a simple matter of using str_replace to change this into a URL. Here's an example from one of my sites (names changed to protect the innocent): ============================================================================ ============= ## Assign the doc path (used instead of $PHP_SELF) if (strstr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["PATH_TRANSLATED"], "/usr/local/apache/htdocs")) { $DOC_PATH = str_replace("/usr/local/apache/htdocs", "http://dev.domain.com", $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["PATH_TRANSLATED"]); $SITE_URL = "http://dev.domain.com"; } else { $DOC_PATH = str_replace("/home/www/apache/htdocs", "http://www.domain.com", $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["PATH_TRANSLATED"]); $SITE_URL = "http://www.domain.com"; } ============================================================================ ============= I hope the above comes out OK. I'm writing this using Outlook Express <spit> and it has a tendency to think it knows better and keeps removing the "s around "http://www.domain.com". regards -- Jason Wong Gremlins Associates www.gremlins.com.hk
