However, you probably don't need the http://my.domain.com at the beginning, as long as the displayimage.php script is properly located. Perhaps you edited the HTML source with something which rewrote the tags for you? I've seen some 'clever' software which thinks that this is a cool thing to do. Another possibility: *always* quote your tag attributes, even if they don't need it. Some editors don't do this, and even though it's not strictly necessary in all cases, it's a habit which removes one more potential problem. Have you installed a new server but changed the compilation options? Can we see the actual tag & the shortest possible script which reproduce the problem? -- +----------------------------------------------------------------+ |Torben Wilson <torben@php.net> Netmill iTech| |http://www.coastnet.com/~torben http://www.netmill.fi| |Ph: 1 250 383-9735 torben@netmill.fi| +----------------------------------------------------------------+
