foreach ($_REQUEST as $key => $value) $$key = $value; short-circuited one-liners :) Regards, Tommy

akk... wrong clicked before I had a chance to fix the code. anyway, foreach ($_GET as $key => $value) if (substr($key, 0, 2) == 'f_') ${'t_'.substr($key, 2)} = $value;

Tommy, excellent.. I had just rewrote your first suggestion: foreach ($a_formvars as $key => $value) ${str_replace('f_', 't_',$key)} = $value; (which works) but I like that you are only affecting the vars that *begin* with $match. I suppose the above would also work with $_REQUEST. Shawn, I don't know if I have a good reason, other than I rather like working with string vars instead of array vars from $_REQUEST for (sticky forms and conditionals). I can check/verify them as well in the process. Thanks to all that posted.. I always learn from the "skin the cat" game. Donovan -- D Brooke
