Nice one folks!
Thanks for your help - it's amazing what happens to one's brain once you start to
think about the
problem in hand enough (enough that is, to attmept to make it make sense to others!..)
- I sussed
the problem, using a similar method described to me my several of you. (and a little
bit of RFTM on
my part r.e: mysql_fetch_assoc() and mysql_fetch_array() ...
Many thanks for your help.
