Derek: Does "form 1" use POST or GET to call "form 2"? If it uses GET, you could store the search page URL in a $_SESSION variable - something like this in your search results (form 2): $_SESSION['search_results_querystring'] = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; and in your editing page (form 3): <a href="form2.php?<?php echo $_SESSION['search_results_URL'] ?>">Back to search results</a> (You'll need session support in both pages, of course - make sure you call session_start() before working with the $_SESSION array). If "form 1" uses POST, then it'll get a little more complicated - you could try saving the $_POST data in the session (think there was a recent thread on this list regarding that) and creating a form with hidden elements on "form 3" that does a POST back to "form 2". I'm a bit of a PHP newbie myself (just coming out of a long career in ASP/VBscript development), so I'd appreciate any comments, (gentle) criticism, etc. Hope this helps.
