Marco, Thanks for the quick response. I'm pretty sure it's legal to have MySQL column names that begin with numbers. I do plenty of other queries on the same database without incident. You might be thinking of the rule in PHP where variables can't start with numbers. Found that one out the hard way. By that time it was too late to change the column names to make writing queries easier. Live 'n learn. And if you look at the code I posted, there is mysql_query($sql_element_low) or die(mysql_error()); but it does not return an error. That's why I'm so baffled here.
