It's true that these can get confusing, but they're also a really good way to do some neat dynamic things and have predictable variable names for them. >It's in the docs in the variables section.. I couldn't have suggested a better place to get sorted out on all this - Chris: browse the docs some, best way to wrap your head around things - and the comments at the bottom tend to have useful real-world examples. cheers, - Martin Norland, Sys Admin / Database / Web Developer, International Outreach x3257 The opinion(s) contained within this email do not necessarily represent those of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
