Please go back and try again. =================== Obviously it's been defined in both scripts... =\ I would love to install Linux on this machine - but I won't lie - it scares the hell out of me lol if I don't use num_rows what would you suggest? This is from a Tutorial in the Sams, PHP & MySQL Web Development - so I'm just going by their script and don't want to continue until I get everything straightened out on my side... Thanks alot, Clint
