Firstly, !$_GET['status'] means "if status is not equal to or greater than zero" -- which of course will not work. Also, this will not work because 0 is considered false in PHP. So if status is 0, then it won't echo anything (nevermind the syntax error). Try $status = isset($_GET['status']) ? $_GET['status'] : NULL; echo $status; -- Burhan Khalid phplist[at]meidomus[dot]com http://www.meidomus.com ----------------------- "Documentation is like sex: when it is good, it is very, very good; and when it is bad, it is better than nothing."
