I'm trying to set up a simple conditional, something like this: Here is what I have tried:

    if ($_REQUEST['id'] != ("black" or "white")) {

In all of the answers given thus far, no one mentioned that the use of $_REQUEST has a security issue with regard to where the $_REQUEST originated. $_REQUEST is an array consisting of $_GET, $_POST and $_COOKIE values and as such, you don't know where the data came from and that might be important. So, wouldn't it be better to recommend that the poster use $_GET, $_POST, or $_COOKIE instead of $_REQUEST? Just an idea -- comments? tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
