If you print out $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] - it doesn't include the http[s]:// at the start to make it a complete absolute url. It also doesn't include your current directory (myWebSite) so even with http:// at the start you'd end up with http://ip.address/company - not what you want either. You should probably have a variable or define for your application url in your config file so you can: print "<a href='" . APPLICATION_URL . "/company'>Company</a>"; It's much safer this way than relying on any $_SERVER variables (which believe it or not are suspect to XSS attacks/vulnerabilities). -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
