I think I am starting to understand. I use a POST to get to my custom page. The QUERY_STRING is... lev=s&cat=page. On that custom page, I need to append some post vars to the QUERY_STRING. So the action of the form on my custom page should look like... lev=s&cat=page&pid=7&tid=1 So what I need to accomplish is getting the GET and POST vars from the calling page and appending my extra vars. But I need to do it in a generic way. I want others to be able to create pages themselves and be able to tell them to make the action of any forms they use be {blah} some simple statement so everything will work. So... the page that calls my custom page via post has... <form action=".$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']." method=POST> <input type=submit name=viewPage value=View /> <input type=hidden name=page_id value=".$row['page_id']." /> <input type=hidden name=teacher_id value=".$row['teacher_id']." /> </form> The URL once I get to my custom page has this in it... /index.php?lev=stud&cat=pages On my custom page, I have a form ... <form action=".$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']." method=POST> <input type=submit name=check value=\"Check\" /> <input type=hidden name=mask value=".$mask." /> <input type=hidden name=cidr value=".$cidr." /> <input type=hidden name=ipClass value=".$ipClass." /> <input type=hidden name=ipAddress value=".$ipAddress." /> </form> After all that, I think I finally got it. If I move the POST vars on the calling page to GET vars then use $_REQUEST things work and stay where they need to. This may not be ellegand, but it works. I will have to investigate using session vars to store the users location within the site some other time. Thanks for your suggestions. M

That is not enough, as I have get vars in the action... <form action=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].?lev=s&cat=page method=POST> I have not gotten around to storing all variables in sessions yet so since my custom page is included within a page that was accessed using the above, I am stumped... Thanks. M

I am working on a project that allows users to add their own custom pages. The pages are stored in a folder on the server and a description of the page is stored in a db along with the filename. Since my site uses forms, GET, POST etc... I am having trouble figuring out how to set the action on a form in my custom page so it will remain in the confines of the site. I have created a page, uploaded and can view it on my site. My custom page has a form and I do not know how to set the action so when I click the "Submit" button on my form, it stays on that page within the site. I am wondering if I need to put the referring url into the action of my custom form? Any help is appreciated and I apologize for my lack of clarity. I am not very experienced. M
