Well, I can *almost* read the site (I read Russian, so it's familiar looking).

Okay, so the "trick" to the site is your jtype=xxx query string. As in:

Code:

http://www.djinchebg.eu/top_emailed_jokes.php?jtype=emailed
or
http://www.djinchebg.eu/top_emailed_jokes.php?cat_id=8&jtype=emailed

But nowhere in the code you showed in your first post are you doing anything like

Code:

$joketype = $_GET["jtype"];

Also, I was right.

You get the *SAME RESULTS* for

Code:

http://www.djinchebg.eu/top_ten_jokes.php?cat_id=8&jtype=ten
and
http://www.djinchebg.eu/top_ten_jokes.php?cat_id=8&jtype=emailed

!!! The jtype is *IGNORED*

Back in a while with all new code.
