I need to add a list of products selected by the user into the query string and then dissect the query string into a list to be emailed. Can anyone offer some clues how to start? Thanx in advance.

Try this Karen:
while(list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_GET_VARS))
{
$body .= $key . ": " . value;
}
$to = "";
$subject = "";
$from = "";
mail($to, $subject,$body,$from);

oops,
replace the $body string in the loop with:
$body .= $key . ": " . $value . "\n";

Sorry, Eric. I think I will need a little more help. First of all, how do I collect all the info into the query string as the user browses on different pages? How to preserve the string as the url changes? I'm a beginner in this so pls be patient. Thanx.

I think I'll add the selections to a hidden field, in case the limit of the url is exceeded. So another question is how do I add a button onto a record form which only displays the product record, which will result in appending the product to the hidden field when clicked? Sorry, I'm not sure how this is usually done but I'm trying to collect the user's selection without requiring login so it doesn't write to the database. Anymore advice there? Thanx very much.

Sounds like you are better off puting the info into session variables since the values span multiple pages. Look at the CCS/PHP documentation for session.

Yes, thanx Eric. I was just thinking abt that. Can sessions be used without logging in? I was just referring to me book and it seems possible but I'm not sure how to do it with CC. I'll check the CC documentation as you suggested. Hopefully, it will be detail enough. Thanx for your advice.

Session variables can be created at any time without a login. A new session id is created and given to every client that loads a page at your site (unless session is turned off). Use the page after initialize event to grab the qstring variables and put them into session variables (using CCSetSession function).

Thanx, Eric. Now I'll dive into sessions.
