Re: Newbie Questionabout variables

Not sure what your question is.... In the case "password" is not a variable but the value of the variable, while "admin" is the name of the variable. Variables passed by url is obtained by GET method, and in your script all vairables passed by GET method can be accessed directly. So, in following script, <? ..... print $admin; ..... ?> the result of print will be "password". If this is not the answer to your quesiton, pls clarify.
