How are you checking for the value? If your url is something like http://yoursite.com/yourscript.php?yourvariable=value then in yourscript.php you should be able to access the yourvariable value through the auto-global GET array like this: $_GET['yourvariable'] So you could say print("yourvariable: " . $_GET['yourvariable'] . "<br>\n"); PHP doesn't automatically create a global variable $yourvariable for you anymore unless you turn register_globals on. -- PHP Install Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
