I don't even want to try it ;-) > > and sometimes i see: > > www.site.com/?asdasdf=adasd > > can someone please explain me this process. the server looks in its configuration (for example Apache: DirectoryIndex index.php) and returns this page - with the GET-Varaibales as well (your Browser doesn't have to know, what this page's name is!) But I'm sure you can configure your webserver (or put it in your script) to make a 301/2/3 and redirect to the full URL! witty -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net
