I know the SQL syntax is right, I have tested it. But what > is wrong here? The mysql_query command returns a result set, not the 'value' of the query.

There are also several variants of these that return slightly different formats. Chase -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
