You can always get to all of your variables from the predefined $HTTP_GET_VARS or $HTTP_POST_VARS arrays... so if your form had something like <input type='text' name='foo'> <input type='text' name='bar'> <input type='submit'> The script it submits to could access $HTTP_GET_VARS["foo"] and $HTTP_GET_VARS["bar"] (or $HTTP_POST_VARS["FOO"], etc, depending on what the <form> tag's method attribute is.) That would take care of the JavaScript problem while still providing one array for all the form variables. -Andy
