Hmmm... OK this may a long way around but if when you are generating your graph, if the value returned is then get the next value minus it from the last good value and store it as a value. Get the last the last good, minus the calculated value and use that as the missing value.
Put this all into an array then plot from that. ie get array of values 3,4,5,3,0,3,0,1 etc work through array checking values each side if a value is 0. Get the difference and replace 0 with the difference. Hope that's makes sense. I'm only a beginner is this area so someone else will probably have a better way.

Idealy, pressing submit on the web form would send only the field(s) with data, and not empty fields. -- Chip > -----Original Message----- > From: Chip Wiegand [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, 18 August 2002 7:08 AM > To: phpdb > Subject: [PHP-DB] oddity with insert multiple input fields to multiple > tables > > > I have a web page interface to a mysql database.
