I'll shoot you :) Please XML is not the do-all solve-all. Seriously think about it before you try this. And then remember that all config files will need to be rewritten and the PHP Apache Module will have way 'wierd' syntax for .htaccess after the conversion because you can't (well, easily) use XML in those. > > tc > > > > > -- > > > > Regards, > > > > Sascha Schumann > > Consultant > > > > -- > > Thies C.
