OK. I guess the next question would be what is the best option for performance? This portion of the app currently doesn't have any session functionality built in. I would be setting up the session for this sole purpose. I haven't worked with cookies yet. I suppose the URL method might work, I have just never like it because I think it looks unclean, just personal preference there. As to the $td question... This is a variable that holds the userid of the "Technical Director" who is the account approver. This portion of the app is simply an approval mechanism to an account request system that I am developing. The "TD" receives an e-mail with a link back to the approval page to approve the requested accounts. This approval then fires off an e-mail to the SA responsible for user accounts to inform him to create the newly approved account. Well, thanks again for the feedback. Hopefully I can get this going pretty quick. We are currently planning on rolling this app out to our user community on Monday. This is the last issue I have that I am aware of. -----Original Message----- From: CPT John W.

What is $td? ---John Holmes... -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
