Hello Andy, Its just a way of passing along variable information as you would do with a form except you attach the variable/args directly to the URL.
For example if you have a script that list all records in a database, you may have a link for deleting records that would be attached to each record with identifying information. The link may look something like http://somedomain.com/processRecord.php?action=delete&recID=24 So when you click this link for the processRecord.php script you pass in the action=delete and recID=24 as variable information. So in your processRecords.php script you may have something like: <? if($action == 'delete'){ make a database query and delete record 24 ($recID) form table } else if(could have other actions){ } ?> Hope this helps. -Merle Friday, October 26, 2001, 3:13:31 PM, you wrote: A> Hi there, A> I heared that search engines are not following things after the question A> mark.
