Be careful with $m and $a, they are used in many scripts and plugins, so make sure there are no conflicts if you use them.

Ok, so there is no real real meaning..., but they are vars wich i can use for almost anything..
It is read default by common.php from the GET.. (nice, so I can use those)

Thanks

Well, I suppose

$m stands for mode or maybe module. It is used by those switches to detect which mode of the script to use.
$n is like $m, but is more generic. In forums it is used to specify special paging modes (or numbers): n=last means go to the last page available.
$a means action. For example 'update', 'send', 'add', etc.
$b is the next latter after $a, isn't it? So it is similar, but more generic.

Can anybody tell me where $m stands for ?

It always goes to the default anyway..

switch($m)
	{
	default:
	require_once(......inc.php');
	break;
	}

Found it, it comes from the GET

$m = sed_import('m','G','ALP',24);
$n = sed_import('n','G','ALP',24);
$a = sed_import('a','G','ALP',24);
$b = sed_import('b','G','ALP',24);

BUT what meaning does m,n,a,b has... (What is usually done with these vars) ??
