I will, if you like. I'm bored as it is at work. Razz

Also, I'm about 300x better at PHP/MySQL than I was before. If you have mod_rewrite, I can even make the urls look pretty:

I think mod rewrite is on... and is what creates the forum archive:

What would you like to see? What are your requirements?

Call me dense, but I still never got this to work!

What I really want is to have a universal index.php file for all reviews/articles to based from. I already have it set to include the body of the reviews. What I need to do is have it grab a set of variables for the header (author, posted date, sponsor, manufacturer, thread link). I want the review body text file to have a list of these variables that the index.php can grab.

Make sense? I hope its possible... and easy enough for a noob to understand!!
