[snip] Is there away with PHP that I can pragmatically change that value to the total records in the database more so then a representation of the actual record number? [/snip] 1. Changing the values in an auto-increment column is just Bad[tm], especially if you are using it as a unique index. 2. You can get a row count using mysql_num_rows() 3. Ask yourself, "Is it important to keep the auto-increment field contiguous?" 4. You can always display a row number with PHP that is contiguous, but not representative of the actual column. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
