Cheers for your help...
I did this in the end...

                $rest = substr($row[file_info], 27, 100);
                $download = "/home/sites/site1/web$rest";

where $row[file_info]   =   the full URL and the 27th character is the 
.com/ bit.

Live and learn, I love this language!

Cheers one and all!!
Tris...
