I'm wondering if it is possible to use the php executable to handle searches from an off-line page through GET or POST methods. What I'm trying to do is create a web-based CD that can do a search from a database or flat file and present the results in HTML format. Thus, the search page (.html) would have a form: <form action="php.exe -f search.php"> <input type="text" name="keywords" size="25"> <input type="submit"> </form> The search.php file would then search the flat file or data source and generate a list of results. Is this possible? One thing I had thought of to try was using the GET method and parsing $argv[1], assuming that would be where the query string would show up. Would that work? Is there another way to do this? Thanks. cf
