Re: solution

We have implemented this using AliasMatch directives in the Apache configuration file. Here is our recipe: AliasMatch ^/.+/(.+)\.php /website/$1.php AliasMatch ^/(.+)\.php /website/$1.php AliasMatch ^/.* /website/start.php What this achieves is that any specific reference to a PHP script (even if apparently buried down in a subdirectory) is actually served by a PHP script in the document root of the site. Any reference that is not explicitly to a PHP script is served by the start.php script. The start.php script looks at the actual URL asked for (using the $REQUEST_URI variable) and does some database lookups to generate the pages. So the request for a "page" such as http://www.pco.powys.org.uk/cap/page2.html is translated by the PHP scripts to a database lookup for page 2 for user "cap" You can see this in operation at http://www.pco.powys.org.uk/ If you want any more information, please contact me off the list.
