With EACH query, it's as if the web user logs into filemaker (and gets the default global values), makes the query and get results, and logs off. Even if there are multiple queries in the PHP for the page.

Good point! I was thinking that I'd see it... didn't think it through. I'm trying to write something for a client who has a rather complex set of scripts, to see if we can fire it from the web and return all the data. In order to do it I have to pass a value...

I think I'll create a TEMP table and write to a field so that I can see it all happening...

Thanks for opening my eyes; I wasn't thinking about the fact that the webuser and I are 2 different users... duh.
