then on the next page:[showif [function]=append] [append db=your.db]blah=[blah][/append] [/showif]This way you aren't passing commands around and the less commands the better. Context are inherently safer, because they tell less about what your doing. Sure they can see the function but the cannot affect it unless the know more about your system.If someone wanted to say delete a file from my db then they might try to change the code in the url to nextpage.tpl?command=delete&geuiddata=0OuchBut using the senario nextpage.tpl?function=delete&geuiddata=0Would do nothing. Because all of your coding is done in the context.I would definitely take a look at how to code using contexts. It is also all in the docs.
