[FX.php List] $_GET won't GIT

[Joel Shapiro]

Hey Jonathan

One thought: What are you using as the page in your <form  
action="....?  Are you creatiing the page name dynamically (such as  
w/ a flavor of $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] -- which could include your  
GET data), or do you have the page name hardcoded (e.g.  
action="page.php")?

Once the page has been submitted via the form/submit, does your url  
contain the GET data?
