Check out abstraction layers

I use adodb
http://adodb.sourceforge.net/

makes coding much much easier ;-))

eg  - mysql example
$sql = "insert into table (col, col2)values('$this','$that')";
$db->execute $sql;

// get last id
$new_id = $db->getOne('select last_insert_id()');

have fun

I have a value I know the query will only ever return a single value. I want to get it from the database and convert it to a variable so I can use it on my php page.



Thanks in advance,
