The problem in particular (maybe you all know of a workaround) is I'm trying to create a download script. While using PHP in cgi mode I can't get Netscape and IE to assign the download the proper name... A possible solution could be a path_info translation something like: http://www/cgi-bin/php/scriptdir/script.php3;/path_infoToPassToScript Let me know what you think... P.S. The PHP base library is awesome and I wouldn't mind seeing future versions of PHP having the DB abstraction libraries that the PHP base library offers built in.
