Hello, that seems to be totally OT here. But you can use basic HTML on your "previous page" printf("<a href='current.php?ARG=%s'>Link</a>", $value); to get it on the "current page": printf("ARG has value: %s", $ARG); See http://www.php.net/manual/en/html/language.variables.predefined.html for HTTP_GET_VARS and HTTP_POST_VARS, too. If you use an version of PHP older than v4.0.3, look for track_vars at the same URL, too. If the string contains other characters than 0-9a-zA-Z see http://www.php.net/manual/en/html/function.urlencode.html Maybe session handling could be interesting for you: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php Bye, K.
