error_log won't email you will it? It'll put it into the apache error log (by default) or the file you specify in your php.ini file, or if you have it in your script, ini_set('log_error',......) And don't separate the query, just error_log it like error_log($query2); Chris. -----Original Message----- From: pgsql-php-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pgsql-php-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Elijah O.
