i am sorry but i would never post a querystring along with a form i mean doing that and processing it will open your site to vulnerabilities. yes you could do it as a post variable and a hidden field but that doesnt stop people from saving the html document to thier computer altering the query and then submitting the form, i guess you could add a check to make sure that the refering page is yourdomain.com but if i am correct this could open up a world of trouble. If however i am wrong someone please respond and correct me :) -- Joseph Crawford Jr. Codebowl Solutions codebowl@xxxxxxxxx 802-558-5247 For a GMail account contact me OFF-LIST -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
