Thanks again Jim, That's what i really need. I'm testing this function... If i put a URL like www.example.com, then it works fine and turns it to http://www.example.com But if i put a URL like http://www.example.com, then it also put another header so it turns to http://http://www.example.com I also tried with the strstr function, but receive the same response. Thanks in advance, Wagner.
