John is absolutely correct (as usual). If you want more information, go to Google and look up things like "PHP variable passing". I did and the very first result was this: http://www.indiwiz.com/web/ServerSide/59 and it has a simple, clear explanation of variable passing in the URL. You can also check the PHP-DB or PHP-GENERAL mailing list archives for posts on this subject; I know there's a wealth of information in there. And, as John said, pay attention to your PHP version and register_globals directive. Goog luck. Rich > -----Original Message----- > From: John W.
