You can obtain the variable just by using the variable name. For example, if your form element name was "address", then the variable handed to the receiving script would be $address. If you want to actually manipulate the stuff inside the URL, then yes, urldecode() is what you want: urldecode($REQUEST_URI); Enjoy, --Dan -- PHP scripts that make your job easier http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/code/ SQL Solution | Layout Solution | Form Solution T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y 4015 7 Ave, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
