Whell, I don;t know what is wrong with your version of apache, but the differends between the POST en GET-methode is, that the GET methode is used if you whant to recieve data back on you screen. The POST-methode is used only for sending things somewere (like an email, or variables to anouther page or something like that). You can not recieve data back then.
That's all (in short terms). I hope that answers you second question. M.B. "Xxxpixie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> schreef in bericht [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > hi!
