For the sake of legibility you could always assign the contents of $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] to another variable before using it in the print statement:
$PHP_SELF = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; print "<LI><A HREF='$PHP_SELF?letter=$chars[$cnt]'>"; Shouldn't be a problem security-wise as long as register_globals is off; Even if somebody tried to pass an arbitrary value to PHP_SELF in the query string, it would only show up in $_GET['PHP_SELF']. It also provides a quick way to bring pre- 4.1.2 scripts relying on the old global $PHP_SELF up to date. -Andy > -----Original Message----- > From: 1LT John W.
