Each "virtual" is a totally separate HTTP request, in the "stateless" HTTP protocol, and your environment variables in one will not (ever) survive to the next. 2. Apache is configured to do "virtual" requests as some kind of "sub-request" and it's all in one single HTTP request/process/thread. I *think* this is a feature I've read about in HTTP specification at http://apache.org If I'm right about all this, none of this has much to do with PHP really, and has everything to do with Apache and configuration. You'd have the same issues in mod_perl or mod_python as you are having in PHP. PS Abondon SSI and just use PHP and your headaches will all disappear. :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
