How are you carrying forward the values category & subcategory? If you're not carrying them forward then it shouldn't come as a great surprise that they're not available in the latter pages. You need to pass those values along either using hidden field elements in your form or by placing them into session variables. > and, in the table the data goes into needs to have a category > and subcategory id. > also, i don't know why i am getting the > next_,Submit Your Ad values passed. I would hazard a guess and say that "next_" is the name of a button and "Submit Your Ad" is it's value? As it is part of the form and you're programmatically (or indiscriminately) extracting everything from $_POST (or equivalent) then that is why you end up with it. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * /* You have an ability to sense and know higher truth. */ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
