[Zope] External Method Problem

[Harry Wilkinson]

Are you sure you're supposed to be getting the query string from your 
operating system environment?  It seems more likely that you were intending 
to get it from the request.

It's not clear exactly what you're intending this code to do, but if you want 
to get the quesry string from the request, try replacing this line:

user_id, banner_id, page = os.environ['QUERY_STRING'].split("&")

with this:

r = context.REQUEST
user_id, banner_id, page = r['user_id'], r['banner_id'], r['page']

but change the names of the query string variables if they're different.
