Well I usually choose to POST forms, not GET them, but yeah, I just deal with the vars as $_POST['var']. If I'm referencing the vars a LOT, I make regular $vars out of each element in the POST array: $myvar = $_POST['myvar']; If there's a lot of them, I do it with a foreach loop... something like: <? foreach($_POST as $key => $value) { $$key = $value; } ?> ...will do the trick. It achieves the same as register_globals, but only from one source, the POST array. Justin Justin
