Since this works on Linux and not on Win2K, you probably don't have the same settings in php.ini. In order for form vars to come in automatically as $formVariableName, make sure you have both register_globals and track_vars set to On in your php.ini. Just to double-check, try getting at your form variable this way... $HTTP_POST_VARS["formVariableName"] or $HTTP_GET_VARS["formVariableName"] - depending on whether the form was sent POST or GET. -- Andy Hoffman Web Developer Bristol-Myers Squibb email: andy.hoffman@bms.com
