DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR; Call that in any file in the root of *your* web directories, and you have what is essentially the "document root" for *your* site. Presumably, you know the *relative* directories of all your files. Simply append those relative directories + filenames to the $site_root variable, and you're done. Paul -- Paul M.
