Guess what , it's working ! The key (after yours and John's iteration lines) was adding these into the script: > $skills = $_SESSION['skills']; > $skys = $_SESSION['skys']; > $slus = $_SESSION['slus']; A big thank you! to all who helped out here and for hanging in. Graham, thank you for continuing to help me on this issue. You are right about manual, and I have been reading the manual along with some PHP / MySQL books. I actually have solved a few things on my own. ;) More reading is in order!
