The % is an escape character to let the browser know that the character isn't allowed in a URL. The browser then looks at the next 2 characters as a hex code for the ASCII character which should be there. So for %5B, it really is '[', and %5D really is ']'. You can see what all the ASCII codes are here: http://www.asciitable.com/ HTH -- Regards, David Bevan We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box. http://www.getanyideas.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
