Mr Moo on another forum solved this for me: Put this in your url query string: var url="/scripts/syn_list.php?word=" + document.forms['myForm'].word.value ; I spent the last 2-16 hr days trying to figure that out. I know PHP pretty good but I'm obviously not very good with javascript. UsagiChan

I'm trying to get this AJAX script to work: It is calling this php program: The problem is to pass the variable "word" which the user types into the form to the PHP program. The PHP program gets synonyms from a database to what the user typed in. Can this be done? If so, how ? Thanks in advance UsagiChan

I've tried several ways to copy a file and I simply cannot get it to copy: I have an image in one directory which I wish to copy to another. I wish to do this from a program which appears in the browser. both $current_file and $thumb_name have the entire path and the name of the file. I've tried: if (!copy($current_file, $thumb_name)) { echo "failed to copy $current_file...\n"; } And I've tried this with and without the "sudo" and with and without the -f $cmd = "sudo cp -f " . $current_file . " " . $thumb_name ; $make_magic = system($cmd) ; I've used webmin to make sure all the files are owned by apache and have 755 permissions. The files were uploaded through a browser so they are usually owned by apache. I also tried changing them all to be owned by prosenpoetry which is the owner of the webite folders. So far all I get is "failed to copy..." when using the first copy and simply ignored when I try the second.. After having tried to do this simple copy for many hours I am totally frustrated. Any ideas? Thanks, Usagi
