Hi Jon,

That works great. Thanks.

Perhaps. I think it could make sense to have some parameters optional.
I really just wanted to make sure I know how to make URL parameters
optional.

That's no problem. I have the parameter names in a parallel array so I
just loop through the matches and build a new array. Then my get_param
and set_param functions get or set params from or to $_POST, $_GET and
$url_params in that order of precedence. That abstraction also assists
with building URLs (e.g. if a parameter came from the URL you can
build a URL with URL parameters).

Thanks,
Mike
