Re: running a script

I like both of these methods...Is one of them more used regularly with PHP. I don't want to start down a road that will eventually dead end if you know what I mean.

Or : B) Store all the info that is entered in your form in a temporary table, with a unique id, and attach that id to the link in your email, eg. http://www.mydomain.com/processForm.php?id=<some id> And have the script (processForm.php), read the info from the temporary table and insert it into it's final destination. -- John C.
