This is because the default settings in the php.ini file have register_globals turned off for security reasons. You can still accomplish that you want to do; simply change the php line to: <?php echo "VALUE IS: " . $_GET['x']; ?> If that's not what you're trying to do... explain in more detail. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney | mailto:matthew@garden.org Webmaster and IT Specialist | http://www.garden.org National Gardening Association | http://www.kidsgardening.com 802-863-5251 x156 | http://nationalgardenmonth.org
