Ron, What problem are you having? I'm looking at your code, and it's so clean, I could eat off of it. My only suggestion would be that $month will NEVER == "NULL". If you are testing for NULL, the test is: if ($month == NULL )
Second, $month will be assigned a value, so it will never be NULL either. BTW, what is in drop.inc? -----Original Message----- From: Ron Allen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 8:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] Database Sorting by date Here is the problem I want to be able to view all or search through the currency lists in the database by the month.
