Just find the colon (:) character using strpos and extract part of string before and after it. Or, you can use explode or split functions. Also, be careful with data in VALUES part. You need to escape quotes at least. It's much easier to use parameters and avoid the trouble. If you need to import data in database at another site, perhaps it would be better to run parsing there as well instead of transfering the insert statements. -- Milan Babuskov http://www.guacosoft.com
