Use different variable names. Or make your function return a value, and use assignment to handle it. > In short is it possible to access a variable from the form before the form > is posted? In short, no. The flow is like this: Browser requests page. Webserver serves page, after parsing (if needed). Browser displays page to user, and essentially disconnects from webserver. User fills in form. Server has no clue as of yet. User presses submit. Browser connects to server and sends data. Server now knows about the data. -- Sapere aude My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely.
