Look for engine in this document: http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php It does work in .htaccess, as long as overrides are allowed in httpd.conf. Your big problem will be how to keep them from changing or removing the .htaccess file in a directory they can write to. Remember, if I can write to a directory, I can rm files from it, even if I don't own them. Rick Widmer Internet Marketing Specialists http://www.developersdesk.com
