Hi Jake,
Not sure what your table structure is like...
$SQLresult = Query the DB to see if record(s) exists If(!$SQLresult){
insert new data;
}else{
echo "Data already exists in table.";
}
Cheers,
Gav

Subject: adding a new record
is there some way to construct an INSERT query such that it only adds
the record if certain values don't already exist in the table? (not
unlike SELECT DISTINCT). or do i have to make a seperate SELECT
statement to check before adding?
thanks,
-jake
