Hi again,
See my last suggestion.
Again you didn't show us all code.
Show us your formcode too.
Maybe you are relying on register_globals is on?
That sucks, and should be disabled.
Some old (and bad) code for PHP gives examples that rely on registerglobals
to be on.
Do not follow that.
Just use the superglobal $_POST[] (for post) and $_GET[] (for getting name
value pairs from the url.)
