Re: running a script

Thanks for the tips. After clicking http://www.mydomain.com/processForm.php?id=<some id> is 'id' a variable containing 'some id'. Can I access that by '$id' I am just trying to figure out how to write the SELECT statement for that script. I am guessing, but I would do: "SELECT * FROM temp_users WHERE ID=$id" Thanks again.

I don't know if it's more common, but I would use the second option to do something like this. No 'personal' infomation is passed to the script via http. -- John C.
