thanx for your help, Ive got flu and all these small things seem to be
escaping my eyes. I just want to ask you a small question:
If i want this page to submit to itself and I want to test for it, would I
go about it like this:
<?
if ("Request" == $reqPaper)
{
}
?>
if my submit button code looks like this:
<input type="submit" name="reqPaper" value="Request">
or is there a better way of testing this?

Hi
You might like to try something like $REQUEST_URI rather than $PHP_SELF, if
you want to keep the existing parameters. However, in forms, it's better to
redeclare them, so in your case, you'd want to add an <input type=hidden
name=ID value=\"$ID\">
