There are many different options. php-general list might have something in the archives. Usually my preferred method is storing application wide settings and commonly used functions in a file that is included on each page. <?php include 'common.inc.php'; ?> You might also take a look at parse_ini_file() http://www.php.net/parse-ini-file olinux __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
