Although I think > they should be passed. no they shouldn't the <form tag is a way of telling the browser how to lay out a form the GET method is a way to tell the HTTP server what you are after the POST method is a way to give the HTTP server information browsers linking forms to POST/GET requests is an end user convenience your code *must* accept that some or all of the fields will not be included for I may manually type http://www.ewwef.com/page.html?var1=hello&var2=goodbye Also how would you discriminate between a page request and a submission if you expected http://www.ewwef.com/page.html?var1=&var2= the solution to the poster's problem is a wrapper to his function that checks the parameters for validity (soemthign he shoudl be doing anyway!)
