not exactally sure what you mean.... but i think i might
you want the script to do something different depending on what
script=??

<?php

$url =
sprintf("https://lexon.ws/corporate/process.php?customerid=%d&workorderid=%d&script=5",
intval($row['customerid']), intval($row['workorderid']));

?>
<a href="<?php echo $url; ?>">open</a>

..... now in your script you can.....
if (isset($_GET['script']))
$scriptNum = intval($_GET['script']);
else
$scriptNum = 0;

switch($scriptNum)
{
case 1:
// do things for script=1
break;
case 2:
// do things for script=2
break;
default:
// do things for invalid script (script=0, or other invalid #)
break;
}

Hey this is pretty good, but now i have a problem.

After i use your link method, when i return to the initial page the link is
already marked pink (as if it was already click) is there anyway to reset
the link so that IE doesnt show that you already clicked this link
previouslly?

you need to do that with stylesheets :D

the following will keep links blue, and no underline, when mouse is
hovered above a link, the link will stay blue & get underlined..

<style type="text/css">
A {
color: #0000FF;
text-decoration: none;
}

A:HOVER {
color: #0000FF;
text-decoration: underline;
}
</style>
