can you explain what it is you are using the referrer info for? Is it just to record where the visitors came from?

Hi revraz, Yes it writes the static text. If I put $stringData = "www.mydomain.com/".$artdata['member_username'].""; it prints www.mydomain.com/ but not the variable Thanks

Please somebody help me, I am trying to do something that I thought would be very simple! I have a navigation bar that has been created in Flash, I need the URL to change depending on how somebody enters the site. What I thought would be the easiest would be to write my PHP so that I print the correct URL to a text file that flash then links to so the button works correctly. This is my php: <? //Pull username from URL $username = $_GET['member_username']; $artquery="SELECT * FROM `members` WHERE member_username='".$username."' AND okay=1"; $artresult=mysql_query($artquery); $artdata=mysql_fetch_assoc($artresult); // write url to text file $myFile = "navigation.txt"; $fh = fopen($myFile, 'w+') or die("can't open file"); if ($username) { $stringData = "/".$artdata['member_username'].""; } else { $stringData = "/index.php"; } fwrite($fh, $stringData); fclose($fh); ?> My problem is that I cannot get a variable to print to the text file. I've tried replacing $artdata['member_username'] $member and adding this $member = $artdata['member_username'], I've also tried pulling the username directly from the url using $_GET['member_username'] but still no joy! Does anyone know why this would be? Thanks Kirsty
