If you are doing it that way, then you will not *need* a mod rewrite. This is the way that I do it - I have thousands of copies of some pages, all different, but all for a different - 'something'.. in your case, for a different user. As I said, I use >> RewriteRule ^detail/(.*).htm /detail.php?C=$1 >> which takes an entry of >> mydomain dot com/detail/23.htm >> and converts it to >> mydomain dot com/detail.php?C=23 >> to get rid of the ?C=23. to show the detail of item 23. But you don't NEED mod rewrite, I only use it to tidy up the URL. -- Pete Clark http://www.hotcosta.com http://www.spanishholidaybookings.com 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!
