Hello list, I'd just like to thank everyone who jumped right in with their insights and suggestions to my troubles. There's a lot to get me going there! Every one of those posts was helpful. I have downloaded "XAMPP" and am going to install it here in a minute. Armed with that, and the use of "search" as Jerry suggested, I bet all will go much more smoothely now, hehe. Just wanted to affirm to you all that your assistance was appreciated :) ~Mike -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
