Here's an example from httpd.conf : AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .html .parsemephp .blah All those will parse php. Most likely you can use .htaccess too, depending on your server is setup. b) All the "stuff" after the ? is the Query String so you could use the predefined variable $QUERY_STRING : print $QUERY_STRING; In your example, that will print 'yes' This can be rather limiting approach though, consider other means. The following may seem helpful : Building Dynamic Pages With Search Engines in Mind http://phpbuilder.com/columns/tim19990117.php3 http://phpbuilder.com/columns/tim20000526.php3 Also check phpinfo() for available predefined variables and plan accordingly. phpinfo kicks ass! Predefined Variables http://www.php.net/manual/language.variables.predefined.php And for the strong at heart, check out mod_rewrite voodoo magic mod_rewrite http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html http://www.engelschall.com/pw/apache/rewriteguide/ Have fun :) Regards, Philip Olson > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Kacey A.
