not sure why it posted my original post again, currently i am using $_GET['date'] to get today's date (which is retreived by a js function on a prev page) but then when i call the calendar the calendar js file doesnt refresh the page when it updates the date (which is where the problem lies) so i cant use $_GET at the mo to get the new date (as it wont be the new date supplied by the calendar, it will be the old date passed in the url from the prev page)

I will try to re-code other elements of my page so i can use a page refresh and get the date using the url and $_GET.

Cheers for the help, its much appreciated!!!
