Sure you can do it, you can retrieve it in your code as $_GET['filetosend']. However, you have to be very careful with the user's input, as someone could pass malicious file names, like "/etc/passwd", which you probably wouldn't want to disclose. So, unless you impose draconian restrictions and checks--or security is not a concern... I suggest you think up a different mechanism :=) Marco -- ------------ php|architect - The magazine for PHP Professionals The first monthly worldwide magazine dedicated to PHP programmers Come visit us at http://www.phparch.com!
