Re: Searching a file

Those are good suggestions but I doubt they'd know how, no offense of some of the people on here are hosted by the people I work for.. ;-) I still have one more question aside from the extenstions thing. I got to thinking, I have these hosted sites on something like 3 different servers. How can I open the root directory for all of them from one of those servers only? I tried just putting their web address with the trailing slash and got a Warning: opendir(http://www.slicerhq.com/) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: not implemented in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\dodb.php on line 31 Any help on this and the extension problem would be nice.

Maybe use a regular expression if it's complex. This may work most of the time, but you really won't know if the person is displaying the add or not. What if they have your code, but it's commented out? Or maybe they positioned a <div> over top of it, so no one can see it... ---John W. Holmes...
