I guess that you could use a CASE construct and pass a switch to it via the URL, e.g. http://www.foo.com/bar.php3?action=do_something Then under the do_something switch, you could place the relevant db-query code or custom-made functions without worrying about people decoding the sensitive data previously containted in your HREF link. That's what I would do, anyways. :) Might not be the best/right/most efficient way, but hey... Cheers, Nicky W.. -[ pioneer@dac.org ]-
