Thanks for your suggestion Mike.
I had considered using sessions, but the way my shared server is configured at 
the moment (php 4.1.2) having cookies disabled also disables sessions. Until my 
subs run out and I change to another company, I'll have to stick with this 
method for now, or get a dedicated server.

I could ask the surfer to re-enable cookies, but I think most would click off.
I lot of people are surfing with javascript and cookies disabled now.
Shame really, as they are both useful.

I could use:
<a href="nextpage.php?<?php echo strip_tags(SID); ?>">Blah Blah</a>
to pass the Session ID, so sessions will work and this is ok.
Not sure whether this would be secure?

I enjoyed learning about using a "tmp" dir though, and I'm sure this technique 
will come in for other things later.

I've still got you in mind when my subs run out :-)
Bob.
