Wow, I think that was exactly what I was looking for... thank all of you... although I've not tested it, will do that tomorrow, but sounds very nice But Todd just confused me quite a bit with the statement: Is /index.php a case where the RegEx will fail? To add some background: It is about dynamiclly creating pdf files out of html source code and then the links should also work in the pdf file. So other protocolls then http:// shouldn't be a problem -eddy
