lol! Well, to this perpetual newbie at least, I suppose you're right if
you're thinking "not much" for an answer. But, if as I've done in the past
using separate php pages to sterilize etc.. my inputs, I guess I just didn't
notice that I'd actually done similar things many times. Changing over to
'htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])' switching over to it created my
confusion. I agree I could have put more thought into the Subject line.
