I tried to do like this: > nameOfButton->x , or nameOfButton[x] , but I didn't get it... It's always amusing how questions like this come in waves. Like, sometimes five or six people will ask how to pass an array with a form within 2 days of each other. In this case, ths question was answered only a few hours ago. :) The HTML spec says that cgi langauges should be aware of two variables when somebody clicks on an image submit button: <name>.x and <name>.y. Since period isn't a legal variable name character, PHP uses underscores. So, an image submit button <input type="image" name="foof"> will yield $foof_x and $foof_y Matt
