Well, Kelvine, your way to set the variable $con is a bit odd, but should work in theory. But, you do not tell
your form’s submit button to go anywhere. And, you use form fields, but, never set up a form. Therefore, I
think your form will never post anything. But, since you are using links to post your invisible form back to the
page, you most likely need to use $_GET[‘con’] not $_REQUEST[‘con’]… Try that and see what you get back.

One note on debugging this… You can use this line: print_r($_REQUEST); to display all of the items inside
the REQUEST array. In that way, you can follow what is being sent back to the page. To explain a bit further,
$_REQUEST is a combination of $_POST, $_GET and $_COOKIE arrays. If you print it, you can see it’s layout
and figure out how to locate the ‘con’ part. But, I would guess use $_GET not $_REQUEST…
