It is not completely clear what the SCRIPT name is supposed to be in this case, but one document said I should name it "script" and place it in "/some/path". This has failed to cause "script" to be called. Again, does anyone know if these solutions are intended for PHP as an Apache module only, or are they supposed to work with PHP as a CGI? Thanks. I'm going to throw a party if and when somebody can solve this one. - Ken kenzo (at) free-music.com >-----Original Message----- >From: Ken [mailto:kenzo@free-music.com] >Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2000 1:56 PM >To: php-general@lists.php.net >Subject: [PHP] How to pass params in URL without ? or &? > > >Surely SOMEBODY has dealt with this issue before.
