Re: Odd question regarding creating a php file

In reply to Chris. The reason I'm having this page created is because people will need to be able to see this person's "win/loss" record. I have a script that displays all of the ppl registered and when you view their page, you can get a real time report on their ratings. As another alternative: I could pass the variables into a 'template' page and create it from there, but I didn't want all my links to be buttons with hidden variables in them. I hope I cleared that up.
