I think (I may be wrong) the process will default to text. For example, try placing a html file with nothing but a word in it and give it a ..html extension. The Browser will simply print the word without any HTML tags. > It's still HTML in your PHP files, hence the need for the specific file extension. Unless you use a htacess file to force the Server to process .html as ..php. Cheers, tedd _______________ tedd sperling tedd@sperling.com
