I think you're misunderstanding what I'm doing. Did you read that code attached to the first mail? Should make it clear. Suffice to say, it's not specific cases like /david that we want to match. it'd be a general case of "do these cases (eg, does it begin with a '?', is it in the form /.*/.*, ...) match? if so serve directly as Apache and mod_php normally would, otherwise if it's /.* with out another '.' or '/', then take the local bit after the / and redirect to /?page=page.php&name=thelocalbitgoeshere" Does that make more sense? > > > Liz /joel
