Any ideas? What switch do I have to flick? Almost certainly register_globals -- but don't! (Unless you have legacy code that must run asap.) Much better to leave register_globals=Off and get used to using the superglobal arrays -- in this case, you will want (iirc) $_SERVER['HTTP_SERVER'] and $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']. For more on this topic, refer to the manula page on Predefined variables: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php Cheers!
