If your data is being passed in the command line, it should be $id=$_GET[id]; $ln=$_GET[ln]; GET would (normally) be used if you were getting information from a URL POST would (normally) be used if you were getting information from a FORM. -- Pete Clark Sunny Andalucia http://www.hotcosta.com/comm_1.htm
