If you have something like this in your httpd.conf: <Location /download> ForceType application/x-httpd-php </Location> you can then place a php script with the filename 'download' into your "www root" directory. Now any request which begins with: http://www.yourdomain.com/download will call your 'download' script. eg: http://www.yourdomain.com/download http://www.yourdomain.com/download/file.pdf http://www.yourdomain.com/download/category1/file.html?file=file.pdf etc. So, you can construct a sensible URL and use the variables in $_SERVER to extract the relevant info required to process your download. The best way to play with this is to simply have: <?php phpinfo()l ?> in 'download', then view it like: http://www.yourdomain.com/download/put/whateverrubbish/you/want/here then scroll down to the "PHP Variables" section and see what comes up. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* Power is the finest token of affection. */
