HELP!! Am I right in thinking that creating a link on a page that reads: photos.php?pageNum=1 should create a variable named $pageNum with a value of 1? The problem is that when I try to use the pageNum variable it has no value. I am having the same problem with forms as well - I cannot retrieve data from a form using either GET or POST. If register_globals is off in php.ini then the example you give is retrieved with

$myvar = $_GET['myvar'}; Posted variables are retrieved with: $myvar = $_POST['myvar'}; If you still have problems then I suggest you post a simple example to this list. HTH Chris
