Do something like <?php session_start(); if(isset($_SESSION['x']) && isset($_SESSION['y'])){ //do your thing here unset($_SESSION['x']; unset($_SESSION['y']; }else{ //get x and y from request variables here if($x && $y){ $_SESSION['x'] = $x; $_SESSION['y'] = $y; header('location: '.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); exit; }else{ //show start page } } -- regards, Tom -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
