(without using the meta refresh method) > include(); script.php could possibly include( 'index.php' ); when the code index.php is finished the next line after the include will be executed, so at that point you could either exit or continue on with something else. If script.php just wants to display what index.php would display you could do something like this: if( you_want_to_show_index ) { include( 'index.php' ); exit; } The URL bar on the browser will say script.php, but the window will show the result of index.php. If you want to bounce around multiple files, it becomes more complex. Rick Widmer Internet Marketing Specialists www.developersdesk.com
