I seem to have figured out that pg_connect returns a resource ID that will not pass into another function, and that pg_pconnect does. I'm not too keen on the persistent connections. Can someone confirm this belief? I'm trying to remember where on php.net I read how to pass pg_connect resources to other functions, and haven't found it at functions, persistent connections, pg_connect or pg_pconnect. Any help would be appreciated, and helpful :) Chadwick Rolfs - cmr@xxxxxxx Cleveland State University - Student Music Major - The Holden Arboretum Volunteer Computer Programmer - Student Employee --*I finally found powdered water; I just can't figure out what to add to it*--
