The problem is that what if the url is "http://yahoo.co.uk/"; (note the lack of a subdomain) Your script thinks that the domain is "co.uk". Just like my existing code does. So we can't count on taking the last 2 segments. And we can't count on ignoring the first segment. (The subdomain could be anything, not just www) Thx, Brad -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
