$base_url contains the domain and the base path (the actual subdirectory). Actually: $base_url = $base_root . $base_path; (hence, why I linked to the actual conf_init() function that does it) Drupal figures all of that automatically out for you. If it doesn't, then you have a serious problem in your server configuration. Which in turn would mean that you are working around an issue that normally does not exist. sun
