why do you need to use ajax ?
you can do a simple postback which is alot easier.
if ajax is amust you must have some knowledge of javascript aswell.

but when i use PHP_SELF ,the url changes to http://www.website.com/testing/detailforum.php
so i am getting the output
<?php
$link=mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password);
mysql_select_db($dbid) or die("unable to connect");
$line=$_GET['id'];
$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM startp where postid='$line'");
for ($i = 0; $i < 1; ++$i)
{
$line = mysql_fetch_row($result);
echo "<table width='85%' bgcolor='#D7D7D7'>";
print "<tr><td align='center'><font face='Times New Roman' size='5'><strong> $line[1] </strong></font></td></tr>";
print "</table>";
print "<table width='85%' bgcolor='#EBEBEB'>";
print "<tr><td></td></tr>";
print "<tr><td><font face='Times New Roman' size='3'><strong><i> Description</i></strong></font></td></tr>";
print "<tr><td width='1%'></td><td>$line[2]</td></tr>";
echo "</table>";
}
mysql_close($link);
?>
<?php
$link=mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password);
mysql_select_db($dbid) or die("unable to connect");
if(isset($_POST["submit"])) {
$uname=$_SESSION['uname'];
$todays = date('Y-m-d h-i-s');
$message=$_REQUEST['message'];
$uname=$_REQUEST['uname'];
$linn=$line;
mysql_query("insert into replying(replytext,replyuser,postiid,replydate) values('$message','$uname','$linn','$todays')") or die ("ERROR:".mysql_error());
$result=mysql_query("select * from replying where postiid='$line' order by replydate DESC") or die ("ERROR:".mysql_error());
if($result)
{
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row[0];
echo $row[1];
}
}
}
?>
<form method="post" name="form2" action="<? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"
<input type="text" name="message">
<input type="text" name="uname">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form> Fungus1487 55 Posting Pro in Training
thats correct you need to get the whole querystring aswell if you want to retain the querystring variable. E.G.
action="<? echo $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; ?>" queenc -1 Junior Poster
