Are they PHP files that need to be run, or images, or files that need to be downloaded by the user? For PHP, you would add the external dir to your include path. For images you can use a php file as the img src and that file sets the appropriate headers and uses readfile() to get and echo the image data: getimage.php?image=someimage.gif For download files you would do it in the same manner as for images: download.php?file=somefile.zip -- Thanks! -Shawn http://www.spidean.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
