In PHP variables have $ in front of them, and you are only sending a query, you aren't assignining anything to the variables. And further, your actual SQL query is already applying that restriction, so any usernames returned by the query will by definition have their seatnums be set to 'seat1' in the database. -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
