There's a setting called "register globals" that will turn your name=me and age=27 into $name = "me" and $age = "27". It used to be turned ON by default. This was generally considered to be bad security, so it now defaults to OFF. To get these variables, just use the $_GET system variable. $name = $_GET['name']; $age = $_GET['age']; Easy! Best of luck! -TG Just to add to -TG advice, you should also clean those inputs. IWO, make sure the values fall within what you expect.
