I have a dir of html files that link to websites, i would like to read the dir and print a list of those files as a link. Which the script i have does. I would like to take this one step further and replace the ".html" extension with ".com" so it winds up being: website.com instead of website.html I am apparently having problems getting my head around eregi enough to acomplish this. any help is greatly appreciated. <? $source_dir = "./mydir"; $dir=opendir($source_dir); $files=array(); while (($file=readdir($dir)) !== false) { if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && strpos(strtolower($file),".php") === false) { array_push($files, $file); } } closedir($dir); sort($files); foreach ($files as $file) { echo "<A href='$file'>$file<br>"; } ?>

I usually use preg_* functions so here's my go: echo preg_replace('/\.php$/', '.com', $file); The '$' at the end makes sure it's a .php file and won't cause problems with files like xyz.php.txt . (otherwise I'd just use a straight str_replace). -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
