Test it on your server. 20 INSERTS is pretty much chump change, really... I mean, sure, if you're server is getting SLAMMED and you are executing this page a thousand times a day or something. Otherwise, your are really NOT looking at a lot of overhead for those 20 queries. Time It. I doubt that the prepared statements give much performance boost for only 20 queries, but, again, time it on YOUR computer. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
