Like if I made a page called "bobdole.com/cheese.html" and then typed in "bobdole.com/cheese.html?q=swedish%20meatballs", what would I have to type in the page to access that q variable? Also, how do I prompt a download? Like the little popup boxes that say Open/Save/Cancel or whatever. Logged

Or, via javascript, you could set window.location (or one of its many aliases) to the URL of the file, or if you wanted to time that; Code: [Select] `<script>setTimeout('window.location="http://your.file.to.download.zip"',5000);</script>`The 5000 is in miliseconds. As for getting the URL variables, I've no idea, I always fetch them through PHP. Logged
