Is there a PHP function that does this translation for me? Is > it some sort of standard? That's something they did manually to their own standard. The standard encoding for @ is %40. Why? Beats me. They don't really need to. Encoding URL's can be done via urlencode() and urldecode(). If you want to do the same thing they're doing, you can use str_replace(): http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php Enjoy, --Dan -- PHP classes that make web design easier SQL Solution | Layout Solution | Form Solution sqlsolution.info | layoutsolution.info | formsolution.info T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y 4015 7 Av #4AJ, Brooklyn NY v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
