Howdy DL & Jason,
I didn't see your response Jason until DL cc'd me this note. Sorry I
didn't check back to follow-up on the newsgroup.. I thought I had the
answer (well I had one, but not quite the right one)..

Hey, you've responded better & faster than many

I had missed the wrapper when I was playing with the code.. I use a
number of different PHP/MySQL interfaces and it is always a bit of a
jump to remember how program X connects with MySQL (as the wrappers are
all different)..

I haven't and don't plan to develop my own wrappers. I'd much rather
use ones like those developed for phplib..

Yes.. Not a good idea at the best of times..
