This link explains why and how to do this http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim20000526.php3 My own appoach is to use Apache mod_rewrite to direct all requests to my "main" script, but leave one directory free for conventional .html or .php files. You need something like this in your Apache configuration - RewriteEngine on RewriteRule !^/my_conventional_directory(.*) /my_main_file.php [nocase] This means: "if request is not for my conventional directory, run my main script" Cheers Geoff Caplan
