There are in fact two different servers: the web server and the PHP server. IMO it should be possible for the PHP server, executing PHP code, to send a request to the web server. It is certainly possible to send a header telling the web server to redirect to another web page. -- ======================================================================= Patrick Dunford, Christchurch, NZ - http://pdunford.godzone.net.nz/ And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. -- Philippians 4:19 http://www.heartlight.org/cgi-shl/todaysverse.cgi?day=20010413 ======================================================================= Created by Mail2Sig - http://pdunford.godzone.net.nz/software/mail2sig/
