It turns the variable into an array, so you can acess .o] them just calling $extras[0] and so. .o] .o] If you call the form simply "extras", the variable will be a string, not an .o] array. The brackets [] are the point on this subject. .o] .o] Regards .o] .o] .o] Alex Piaz .o] Webmaster .o] Global Map Internet Marketing .o] http://www.globalmap.com .o] "Be cool or be cast out" .o] **************************************************************** .o]
