That is correct for GET information, but not for POST. POST is not passed through the QUERY_STRING like GET is. If you _really_ want to mimick POST (it doesn't sound like you do) then consider: Using PHP, how do I send a http POST without using a form? ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/12039/fid/51 > If so, how are the value's encoded?

I you plan to pass non-url friendly values through the URL, then using urlencode() is a good idea. For example: $words = "Cheese is good"; echo '<a href="yep.php?motto='. urlencode($words) .'">hi</a>'; Which essentially makes: yep.php?motto=Cheese+is+good More information on what urlencode exactly does and related information (like for htmlentities), see the manual entry: http://www.php.net/urlencode Regards, Philip Olson
