-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The idea is nice. I am using similiar technique in my work, but you commited some mistakes in the code. It may cause some anger/frustration amongst newbie ones. :-) ripley@xxxxxxxxx (pon 22. grudzień 2003 11:46): > ------ Wiadomość oryginalna ------ > Od: Ângelo Marcos Rigo <angelo_rigo@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > Data: 2003-12-15 14:23 > > Temat: Re: [PHP] Interactive querys [...] > 2.
