Thank's Oliver, now i have come up to this: <? print ("<a href=german$PHP_SELF>link german</a>"); ?>

echo '<a href="german/'.$PHP_SELF.'/link german</a>"); It should like this, but I don´t know your encironment, so I put some "/" in hope you get it fixed or if you want to cat these vars to a new word $link = "german".$PHP_SELF."link german"; echo '<a href="'.$link.'">FOO</a>");

and this seems to work as long as i add these php tags inside html, but how do i insert this inside my array which is in the .js format (javascript) ? any ideas that could help me? or would you need to look at the array?

Maybe you´re mixin´up two things, where php is enough. But as I cannot know whats in your JavaScript, I can give you only a hint. Your JavaScript should be echoed also, To avoid conficts with java´s "'" you should escape them and/or the " . so it would look like echo " some javacode \' (foo)\' "; And as another hint "JavaScript" is client-side while PHP is serverside. You´re just delivering a page to the clients browser. HTH Oliver

Btw. excuse the question but what means HTH in the end of our reply?

Hope this helps

You´re welcome here, if your questions related to php. If there are specific php-windows questions, you should ask them on the windowsPHP list. second question is my task i want to complete in PHP : i have an array for a dhtml navigation menu for my site. all the links are "hard coded" inside the array and are , of course , the same for the whole site EXCEPT for the language selection. now, for example, i am on a page called about.php, i am clicking on the link for the german version and a page called german/about.php should be retrieved. same for spanish. now, what do i do? i have found a php snippet that reads the current url <?php $filelocation=$HTTP_HOST.$PHP_SELF; echo($filelocation);?> but can i use this somehow and how do i do that? You can shorten this : echo "<a href="'$HTTP_HOST."/german/".$PHP_self.'">German</a>'; echo "<a href="'$HTTP_HOST."/spanish/".$PHP_self.'">Espanol</a>'; but it should be enough if you use echo "<a href="'german/".$PHP_self.'">German</a>'; assuming that this dir/page is locatet in the root of your vserver.
