[snip] They key I am using to find the record I want to delete is the the $row[id], but that is out of the scope of where the variable is set. Is there a way to set a variable so that it goes outside the scope? [/snip] What do you mean by "out of the scope of where the variable is set"? If the $row[id] is data in the database (which it should be) it is not a scope issue at all. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
