Rob: Very neat. It also handles url's like this: <http://mydomain.com/mydirectory/mysubdirectory/anothersubdirectory/mypage.php> See Demo here: http://www.webbytedd.com/b4/parse-url/index.php

It's useful to leverage the work of others. So using parse_url() gets you all the parsing stuff for a url without having to worry about the spec (such as embedded user, password, port, parameters, and fragment. Then we just augment to provide the extra functionality :) Cheers, Rob. -- E-Mail Disclaimer: Information contained in this message and any attached documents is considered confidential and legally protected.
