Re: how to make cloaked redirect by php script

That's not *really* cloaking (although it may suffice for the OP), because the only URL you'll ever see in the browser is www.mysite.com, not a specific page. I've never done it, but my guess is that *real* cloaking is done with some complex .htaccess rules and URL re-writing on the server with the domain, with all requests (eg www.mysite.com/mypage.html) being passed through index.php. Index.php would be a script that passes the target file geocrap.com/dir/dir/mypage.html from the geocities server through the server hosting the domain. But for the life of me I can't imagine why you'd bother. Hosting is cheap, geocities is crap (IMHO), it's a pain to upload to, and you can't possible want to run a half-serious website under these conditions. I can think of *some* good uses for real cloaking on an Apache system, but this aint one of them :) Geocities also have evil Javascript pop-ups, CSS branding, or some other evil thing which they change every so ofter which will seriously detract from your sites value. *shudders* Good luck.
