I never thought of mysql_fetch_row. What I ended up using was
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result_id); echo $row[1]; I'll probably use fetch_row as it makes more sense. Thanks. ---> Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: John W.

There's only one row... $row = mysql_fetch_row($result_id); echo $row[0]; or echo mysql_result($result_id,0); ---John W. Holmes... PHP Architect - A monthly magazine for PHP Professionals.
