Hardly an ideal solution as it needs configuration, but it would work. I think this is really a mod_rewrite problem, as by the time PHP takes over you've lost the information you need. You may have better luck in a forum devoted to mod_rewrite, but I'm not optimistic that it has a "what file would have handled this request if mod_rewrite hadn't run" parameter. I think you're going to have to build your directory path from the information in the original request and some configuration glue. Good luck (BTW, I initially thought there might be something in mod_autoindex to run a custom script, but it doesn't look like there is.) -- http://www.otton.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
