This has been known to work on some setups out of the box (like mine :), but the best way to do it is probably to use mod_rewrite. This takes an url and, er, rewrites it to point at your script. However, you have to parse the URL yourself, it'll be in $HTTP_SERVER_VARS[REQUEST_URI]; -- Thomas 'Freaky' Hurst - freak@aagh.net - http://www.aagh.net/
