I have a table called favorites. This can be done by someone who logs in on the browser with email and password. I'm using php in a web page. Do I use the following syntax: $query_del = "UPDATE favorites REPLACE(favorites,'BitOfStringToReplace','NewBitOfString') WHERE email='$email' AND password = '$pw'"; It's the use of UPDATE ... REPLACE together that I'm not sure of. UPDATE normally goes with SET. Thanks, John http://www.cantor.com CONFIDENTIAL: This e-mail, including its contents and attachments, if any, are confidential.
