The Virtual() command works on my hosting server, I am running windows, idigostart perl/apache with php4 installed, how do I get this virtual() command to work on my machine, I assumed that the php4 I had installed was an apache module. I have .shtml pages using includes for html, and "exec cgi" for executing .cgi scripts, as I am using php more and more is there an advantage in me changing my .shtml pages to php and use the equivalent include, and virtual commands ?? But I do need somehow to be able to use the virtual() command on my machine so that I can develop my scripts. Dave
