In index.php you would have something like: $msg = urlencode( 'whatever message you want to send' ); header( "Location: http://example.com/index2.php?msg=$msg" ); exit; Then on the index2.php $msg = isset( $_REQUEST[ 'msg' ] ) ? urldecode( $_REQUEST[ 'msg' ] ) : ''; At this point you can mangle $msg however you like and send it somewhere else with another header() call. -- Greg Donald Cyberfusion Consulting http://cyberfusionconsulting.com/
