If I understand your question correctly, an UPDATE query should be all you need. UPDATE tablename SET columname='value' WHERE someid='somenum'; I'm assuming you don't have the MySQL doc. Check mysql.com for the docs for your version of the server. Rich Hutchins, CIW Professional Sr. Technical

Don't know if I fully understand your question, but, in general, you can handle redirects with the header() function, e.g., header(Location: http://www.yoursite.com/yourscript.php?msg=0storyID=.$newstory.;); As you can see, you can include variable=value pairs at the end of the URL as well (msg

If you're not getting the parse error anymore, I'd suggest you echo $query to the browser and check to see that the SQL statement is what you expect it to be. Can't count the number of times doing that has pointed out some stray apostrophe or comma or something that killed the query.

How do you know it failed? What is the mysql_error() returning to you? I'd also recommend you echo out the query to the browser window before sending it so you can see exactly what's being sent to the database. That'll help you troubleshoot SQL problems on your own. -Original Message-

You want to know how to open a PDF that resides on the server in a client browser, right? You should be able to do that with a simple a href=pathtoyour.pdf target=_blankClick Here/a link. You can change the target to open a new window or replace the current window or whatever suits your needs.
