Note Submitter: jwl007 ---- Here's a quick function for replacing values within a query string. I use this quite a bit for ordering a list obtained from a database. e.g. If I want a link to order the list by firstname, I would use: <a href=".replaceQueryString('orderby',$firstname).">first</a>. If I want a link to order by last name, I would use: <a href=".replaceQueryString('orderby',$lastname).">last</a>. //$var = global query variable //$val = new value for global query variable function replaceQueryString($var,$val){ global $HTTP_SERVER_VARS; $query_string = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["QUERY_STRING"]; return preg_replace("/$var=[\\d\\w]*/","$var=$val",$query_string); } Hope this helps someone..
