Let's say you have aPlease do not encourage the use of $_REQUEST. You might as well just tell people to enable register_globals again. Use $_GET, $_POST, $_SESSION, $_COOKIE, $_SERVER, etc. for the appropriate source of data. $_REQUEST is laziness and introduces most of the same issues that was the reasoning behind disabling register_globals to begin with. (As for dropdowns, that's just an in-browser method of collecting data and sending the key/value pairs in POST or GET... IMHO the HTML portion should already be known before someone steps into the realm of PHP and server-side programming) - mike
