The .htaccess/httpd.conf solution is: <Location /news> ForceType application/X-httpd-php </Location> Now the file news in your DocumentRoot directory will be executed as a php program, and anything that appears as directory and file names after it will appear in $PATH_INFO. (I think that's where it appears anyway. Check phpinfo() to be sure.) It works very well. Rick Widmer Internet Marketing Specialists http://www.developersdesk.com
