Dave, thanks for the response! Can you repeat it in English? <chuckle> You're obviously light-years ahead of me if you can can call your script "dirt-simple!" I mean that as a compliment! That's incredible! Here's a couple of follow-up questions, if you don't mind: Whose web tree would the file be saved to? And, how would you link to it? These are probably newbie questions but my resources, noted earlier, don't really speak to them. I've got another, more general question: Can PHP be installed on a commercial server improperly such that I can't break out of a standard HTML document? Let's say I write "test.htm" like this: <HTML> <? echo "Hello, world!"; ?> </HTML> That doesn't quite work for me even as I read this page of the PHP online manual: http://www.php.net/manual/language.basic-syntax.php You don't suppose that for once, THEY'RE the ones screwed up and not me, do you? <g> Yours, Murph
