This is especially useful when altering how a form sends data. Only today we had to update a form to use GET instead of POST, as IE managed to break the back button because of the POST values not auto-submitting. It would have meant a lot of code changes had $_REQUEST not been used. Ash www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
