Hello, I am not sure if this is a php thing or not but hope is... I see some sites like this: www.domain.com/tree where tree is not a directory for example www.domain.com/tree/ would not work the word tree above is not really a directory but a username or id or whatever.... Anybody know what I am talking about?

Apache mod_rewrite. Typically, it can be used for things like [internally] converting the url from... http://example.com/articles/45/ ...to... http://example.com/articles.php?id=45 It's a big can of worms to open, but searching for 'mod_rewrite tutorial' on google, or looking at the sitepoint.com forums (they have a mod_rewrite forum especially) and do some research. Either way, it's not really a PHP question :) Justin French
