You are asking more than one question within this newest version of your thread and are treating people's responses to each individual question as part of one all encompassing answer. If you are looking to have the SQL query string sent as POST vars but don't know how to get those out of the array, I would say you have some RTFMing to do, the same would go for sending the users to your results page AND ( you can do both POST and GET vars for a single page) adding a querystring to the url so that the user could bookmark the url and have a way to return to the same query they specified provided that the database query happens on/in the results page. If that answers any of your questions, great, if not, try planning ahead a little instead of asking the list to write the functionality code for you. -- Regards, David Bevan We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box. http://www.getanyideas.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
