For those who recognize this topic from me and perhaps are sick of it , my apologies :) This is actually a different question more about logic then syntax or functionality. One of the uses of my search form is that users may save their search parameters. Typical benefits, they don't have to re-enter all the criteria. Hitting one link or receiving an email can get them the results they need. The way I was approaching this was to grab the url, the part after the ? , so not the referer. Whatever the second part is called. Only now that I've created a search and results page via Post method, of course there is nothing going to the URL. I'm wondering at this point if I should create a way to let users save their search parameters, by grabbing the variables and storing them as an array in the database or go back to the URL method. Curious if anyone sees benefits or negatives with either. Stuart -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
