Haha! Awesome! You should "count it," Bill. Serious now, who writes the code for those PHP functions? Is that a call that PHP makes to the respective database or does someone actually continually keep the PHP code "up-to-date"? Second question: why is there not more emphasis on using prepared statements? I was taught at $SCHOOL that prepared statements, especially for anything involving unknown user input, is the Right Way. Am I missing something or is the lack of use of these just a noob factor? Thanks, Kevin ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
