Dan K., is there any reason the validation can't reside within the same script as the form, then forward on success? A very simple example: <? if($_POST) { // Check to ensure that your variables are all correct, // then use header("Location: successful-target.php?var1=a&var2=b"); // And then, on forwarding, remember to exit; } ?> <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>"> <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="var1" VALUE="<?=$_POST['var1'];?>"><BR /> <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="var2" VALUE="<?=$_POST['var2'];?>"><BR /> <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="GO!"> </FORM> Since the user will start with a blank form, and the $_POST values won't already be set, the values in the form will be blank on the initial page load, but for unsuccessful attempts, they'll be populated with the correct data. ~ Dan^[3] -- Daniel P.
