You could use apache's mod_rewrite to make a URI like: http://your.domain/dbimages/some_text-14.png to actually go to: /scripts/dbimages.php?text=some_text&size=14 a RewriteRule in your apache config file like this should do it: RewriteRule ^/dbimages/(.+)-(.+)\.png /scripts/dbimages.php?text=$1&size=$2 -robin -- Robin Vickery...............................................
