You need a variable name and an equal sign in the URL with an optional value. So you want something like this: href=\"".$PHP_SELF."?product_list=&action=editproduct&product_id=0001>ED IT< Notice the equal sign after "product_list" that was missing. The old way you were doing it was probably trying to create a variable named "product_list&action" which isn't valid. ---John W. Holmes... PHP Architect - A monthly magazine for PHP Professionals.

I don't know if XHTML or HTML 4 or whatever require you to have a value portion in the URL or not...
