So you can only use it once, immediately after the URL. To add additional values, you use the & sign. url.com?a=1&b=2&c=3 etc. > Another question: if I want to hide all these > parameters at the url, how I can do that without > using the form. If you want to do that, it's a little more complex -- you can't use the querystring at all. You need to pass your values via the POST method in HTTP. The easiest way to do this is to make an HTML form and specify the method of the <form> tag as POST (like this: <form method="post" action="targetpage.php">). There is another way, it's a bit more involved. You open a socket with the server and directly send the data as POST data. This allows you to avoid having to bother with a form. Rasmus Lerdorf wrote a function to do this (takes most of the work out of it) but it helps to understand how sockets work if you're going to take this route. Let me know if you want this function, I have a copy of it. I CC'd this back to the list, because there are probably others who can benefit from this conversation -- in general, try to keep discussion on the list unless there is some reason for privacy.
