This shouldn't be nor the easiest nor the best way to do it. Would be a hell to maintain, because you are writing the same page over and over for each member. If you later decide to change something, you'll have to change each and every one of them. Instead, you could make just one dynamic page, and make symlinks for each member. You would have: directory/dynamicpage.php and for each member: member1 -> directory/ member2 -> directory/ ... and so on... This is the easiest way I can think of. Perhaps you'll need to add directives to your web server to allow it to follow symlinks, though that's normally easy to do. -- Bruno Lustosa, aka Lofofora | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator/Web Programmer | ICQ: 1406477 Rio de Janeiro - Brazil | Community email addresses: Post message: [email protected] Subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] List owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Shortcut URL to this page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/php-list Yahoo!
