Re: conf problem?

OK, I'll start off with a "Huh?!" as this post doesn't make much sense,
but then I'll try to provide help.

OK, where are you getting this $catid from? You mention getting it from
$HTTP_GET_VAR ($_GET may be better for you anyway) but then also mention
getting it from a database which has nothing to do with GET parameters and
HTTP requests.

Can you be more clear in how you're trying extract this value and from
where? Maybe with a code snippet or two.

Cheers,

Andy
