That's exactly what you need :) Have some core functions that are remotely accessed. for example: $result = file("http://www.myserver.com/functions/square_root.php?input=4"); Then at www.myserver.com the square_root.php file would contain: <? echo sqrt($input); ?> Does anyone see any flaws in this? -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * /* We'll cross that bridge when we come back to it later. */
