Off to work soon. But a final test results in interesting results.. HTML:- <form action="/vyb/index.php" method="post"> <select class="w3-select" name="viewaddress" onchange="this.form.submit()"> <option value="">Home/main office</option> <option value="909-2-2" >(909-2-2) 88 Newland St, Bondi Junction NSW 2022</option> </select> etc.... When i submit the form, it should go to /vyb/index.php and activate the script... (i renamed the script to index.php) HOWEVER - I end up at /vyb/ (no index.php).... my htaccess:- Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php END HTACCESS (ive taken away the NC, L, QSA etc.. Question: can the htaccess be redirecting the browser & thus losing the post values ? Can the redirect occur at htaccess leve - or within the php itself ? there are 2 x HEADER lines in the php itself - but neither of them go to /vyb/ url.. (where the script is) -- Gordon.
