Variables can only be passed to a PHP script via POST or GET. So if you want to pass JavaScript variables to a PHP script, you must do it that way. For your second question, look for the window.open() function in JavaScript. Your code would look something like this: < form > < input type="butt

Seems like that makes it a LOT easier. Use eregi_relace() instead of ereg_replace(). eregi allows for case-insensitivity. Try eregi_replace("this","\\1",$str); That should do it, though I haven't tried it myself. On Thu, 2002-01-31 at 14:14, Edward van Bilderbeek - Bean IT wrote: >
