What is the PHP code you're using to replicate the above? And where is there a $transactionid in it? FWIW, if your PHP version is 4.1.0 or above, then the nearest equivalent of $qs->param() would be the $_REQUEST array. Otherwise, the variables should be automatically populated if register_globals is turned on, or else you can populate the variables yourself by checking the contents of $HTTP_GET_VARS and $HTTP_POST_VARS arrays. <b>Doing Transaction </b><br /> <?php $oid= $_REQUEST['oid']; $status= $_REQUEST['transactionstatus']; ?> -- CC
