Mel, Not sure if I understand your question now or not, but here goes. In order to prepare your page you want to be able to click a link on the left and have the page on the right replaced with something in response.
Technically when php prepares the page, it prepares both sides (unless you are using frames). If preparing each side requires different queries against your database, you can certainly do two database queries in the same execution. When you first posed your question you talked about starting two pages at once. What I see is one page. Perhaps if you used frames you could cause the left frame to be a separate PHP script and the one on the right another, this would allow your server to process both requests simultaneously, perhaps this is what you meant? Technically they are still part of the one page, but each would be a separate frame within the page. Caution about using technical terms, in your first message you referred to separate pages when (I believe) you may have been referring to one page (yes, page is a technical term) and in your second message you used a term "Join" which has a meaning when running queries on your database, causing me to think for a moment that your question had been about retrieving information from your database, which you seemed to mention. If you opt to use frames and are new to PHP programming, or programming with frames, expect difficulties (use of Target consistently is the key). I avoid frames unless I simply can't do what I want to do without the use of them. I think at one time some browsers didn't support frames, not sure any more.

Thank you for your reply. I think my question is really much more simple than what you are suggesting. If you have a quick look at http://www.squareinch.net/single_page.php?art=crp_logo.jpg you will see what I mean. I have a single page and both results load in the same page. When I click on a link the picture loads on the left side and the info should load on the right side. Right now the info is visible at all times regardless of what I click on! I need to know how to join my echo statements and/or my query! On Nov 13, 2006, at 12:57 PM, Warren Vail wrote: > > Mel, that may have been a disguised hint. Your answer lies in > javascript.
