Hey Rob,

So I decided to do what you mentioned:

$eventNameStr = strrchr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "/");
$eventNameStr = substr($eventNameStr, 1, strlen($eventNameStr));
error_log($eventNameStr); <-- this is the other line of the error log snip 
below

However, I'm getting some wierd script action..

Here's a snippet from my error_log( ) calls when loading: 
http://192.168.1.102/pc_release/index.php/26657d5ff9020d2abefe558796b99584

[19-Mar-2007 13:53:08] 26657d5ff9020d2abefe558796b99584
[19-Mar-2007 13:53:08] DBAS: 192.168.1.106 connected to mysql server db 
'hhc'
[19-Mar-2007 13:53:08] style.css
[19-Mar-2007 13:53:08] DBAS: 192.168.1.106 connected to mysql server db 
'hhc'
[19-Mar-2007 13:53:08] favicon.ico
[19-Mar-2007 13:53:08] DBAS: 192.168.1.106 connected to mysql server db 
'hhc'
[19-Mar-2007 13:53:08] pc_app_logo.png
[19-Mar-2007 13:53:08] DBAS: 192.168.1.106 connected to mysql server db 
'hhc'
[19-Mar-2007 13:53:08] favicon.ico
[19-Mar-2007 13:53:08] DBAS: 192.168.1.106 connected to mysql server db 
'hhc'

As you can see, its loading the file (index.php) 5 times for a single 
request. (the hash, style, favion, png and favicon)..

Now, when loading:
http://192.168.1.102/pc_release/index.php?act=700&eventid=26657d5ff9020d2abefe558796b99584

[19-Mar-2007 13:54:09] 
index.php?act=700&eventid=26657d5ff9020d2abefe558796b99584
[19-Mar-2007 13:54:09] DBAS: 192.168.1.106 connected to mysql server db 
'hhc'

So, any ideas as to why its working like this?

- Ben
