I would say the same, do the query and then a loop through the results. Skip the first one and output the second, eg. $levels = mysql_query("SELECT levelID from hf_levels ORDER BY levelorder > RB> DESC LIMIT 2") or die('Unable to get levels<br>'.mysql_error()); for($i=0;$i<mysql_num_rows($levels);$i++){ $item = mysql_fetch_object($levels); if($i){ // Do the output with the new object, $item break; } } -- -- Kim Steinhaug ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- www.steinhaug.com - www.easywebshop.no - www.webkitpro.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Mikhail U.
