The only potential problem I see looking at your code here is that variable $id in the loc.html file won't be parsed when you execute the script. The variable should be enclosed in php tags <?= $id?> and parsed by include()'ing the file into your script rather than fopen()'ing it. I don't know if that was the problem. But if not then explain exactly what "wont' work" about the script. HTH, Kevin
