With the latest PHP versions, register_globals defaults to off, so you don't have "$filename" but rather $_GET['filename'] available. If your PHP host has register_globals off, but you need parameters as globals, you can put this little script at the beginning of your PHP file: foreach ($_REQUEST as $varname => $value) { $var = '$'.$varname; global $$var; $$var = $value; } You will then be able to access parameters as if register_globals would be on. -- >O Ernest E.
