man... I use the $id sometimes, but remember stripslashes() and also I use a mysql db e.g. associate id to a page that I add in the database and when you do the $id= it searches my mysql page for that id and if it finds that one it uses the page field and brings up the site... also, if $id doesn\'t exist in the database it brings up a \"this page has been moved or your smoking crack\" page... just throwing my input.. I could post my mysql script, but its a 3 part script.. with admin section addon, lol
