Rik,

Thanks for the info, but that didn't work for me. It gave this error
on the line that starts with $image:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in
/home/**(edit)**/public_html/includes/links.php on line 11


I Googled for "php if statement" and ended up finding this:
http://www.tizag.com/phpT/ifelse.php

I used this method and it worked fine.

Michael
