But it may well be that your script just doesn't CARE where the data came from. GET, POST, COOKIE, whatever. If somebody is using my pagination script, and wants links or buttons or whatever, I don't really give a damn where $page comes from. It has to be a positive int, but I don't care how they code the user interface. $_REQUEST is very handy for that. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
