HTTP_POST_VARS, forms, and not allowing modifications.

Hey folks, I am working on a database-driven site, and have run into a problem. It's not a problem with any existing code, more of a "how the heck do I do this" sort of thing. I have a table, that is generated from a database query: +-----------+-----------+----------------+-------------+ | unique_id | some_text | some_more_text | edit button | +-----------+-----------+----------------+-------------+ The unique_id is an integer, and the user can NOT be allowed to modify it. However, I need to pass that value to the php script that's the ACTION for the "edit button". register_globals is not allowed, so somehow I need to get the value of unique_id into the HTTP_POST_VARS array. I tried: $HTTP_POST_VARS['unique_id'] = id; but it was ignored. I know I can make the unique_id a TEXT input area, but then it can be modified. I did some searching around for more information about what can and can not be done with HTTP_POST_VARS, but I didn't find anything helpful (I could have been looking in the wrong place, too). Anyone have some Wise Tips(tm) for me? Any help would be greatly appreciated. :) Benny ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "The onions are irritating my buttocks." - Sluggy Freelance 10-12-1998
