using "<form method=get...", it is automatically generated but you can also do it manually in your anchor tag like so: <a href=" www.domain.com/index.php?id=35&format=html">click me</a>
in your php you can get its value by use of the $_GET variable. hth, john On 11/13/06, Thomas Bonham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
