Thanks - that does do most of what I want - and it may be enough

though I'd ideally like

test.php?somevar=1&page=foo
and
test.php?page=foo&somevar=1

to be the same page ...

I think that all our sites have the page identifier as the first
variable in the query string ..,

open source is winning though :)

I tried this with webtrends - ended up writing a perl script to
mangle the logs, then had to process them and unmangle the results
which kind of worked - except that the box we have running windows
died so we can't run webtrends anymore (shame)

now I have to decide whether to learn enough C to parse the query string
the way I want to ...
