HOW does it "not work"? If you print_r($_POST) at the beginning of the page when you know you've used method=POST, does it have any values within it? What web server are you using, what version? What version of PHP? Just glancing through the code, it _should_ work, since $_REQUEST has both GET and POST (and cookie) data. ---John Holmes...
