You could trim the periods from the filename string, and then attach the domain prefix: $prefix = 'http://domainname.com/'; $full_url = $prefix . trim($filename, '.'); Also, a word of warning. You shouldn't really let *anybody* edit a page in such a way that they can insert their own PHP into a page. It's a security risk, and should really be avoided if you can at all help it, even if only for a single user. If you must let them enter simple PHP, have you thought instead of having them enter something else (like template-style commands) that can be checked and interpreted by your PHP code, e.g. they enter this: %%navbar%% and it's replaced by your navbar code. That way, anything your code does not recognise, is not able to cause any gaping security holes on your server. Ash www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
