Well not wanting to be rude back. But the question is dealing with how best to control the writing of data to mysql. No where do I say anything about using php. I could be using perl for all you know. But I respect your right to state your thoughts, but just don't agree with it. I think this is a better place to ask this question, and acknowledge that people on the php list would also most likely be able to shed light on this subject.

I realise there are many users of php that subscribe to this list, but this is a mysql list not php. If you go to http://www.php.net/support.php you will find a large number of resources (including lists at http://www.php.net/mailing-lists.php), not to mention examples of code, irc channels etc. Regards fbsd_user wrote: >Have to develop form with over 100 input fields plus 40 different >drop downs.
