Perhaps.. but CGI.pm doesn't. (I've got legacy code that uses perl instead of php.. and I'm stuck, because it would a lot of work to move it over and I don't feel like hacking CGI.pm to handle multiple data inputs.) Does no one else see my point? REQUEST_METHOD tells you which way data's coming at you (get, post, or the other one..) so to me it's a pretty strong indication that you're only supposed to use one method at a time. Putting in a hidden field is an elegant solution that will work in *all* cases.. so why the fuss? Geoff
