Whoa... totally different. mod_include parses documents, mod_rewrite manipulates URLs. When I said it was similar, what I meant was that they both have some built in functions but should be extendable by other modules. For example, mod_include uses tags like <!--#foo ... -->, where "foo" is a function name whose corresponding handler function looked up from an optional function hash table. Eg, handle_if, handle_else, handle_include, handle_echo, etc. See the function include_post_config() and then search for "handle_func" in send_parsed_content() and you'll see what I mean. So mod_include already does this, mod_rewrite should as well. Right now mod_rewrite does a big if/elseif/elseif/.../ set of strcmps. If it just did a hash table lookup instead, we'd be set! --Cliff -------------------------------------------------------------- Cliff Woolley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Charlottesville, VA
