I'm just finishing off a website service with a good example of just that technique. Paste the following into a file - example.html <html> <script language='JavaScript' src='http://alert.bigsites.co.uk/books/export/javascript/usercat/10/comp/12'> </script> </html> For now, it will output javascript (hence the script-block), but in the future it can easily be extended to output XML, other text formats - or a PHP 'serialize' dump to be 'unserialize'd and stored/output as required. The other parts of the URL encode the user ID, source of the data (http://www.computerbooks.uk.com) and the category of reviews (Operating Systems) Alister
