The idea of sunk time is that it's already been spent, so spending more in an attempt to justify the fact you spent it (i.e. to make it work because it's already cost you time/money) is daft when you discover a pre-built solution. To refuse to investigate it due to a refusal to throw the result of that time away is pure stubbornness, a normally expensive path to walk. > I want the script to work - as it should if PHP is 1/2 what it's cracked up > to be. If not, I'll have to look for another solution (like C which I have > been using for 20 years). Am I supposed to care whether you use PHP or not? But sure, let me know how much time it takes you to write a web-based MySQL management tool in C. In the meantime I'll install phpMyAdmin in five minutes, show it to your client, and probably not even charge them for it. C? Really? Why not assembly language, since the relationship between PHP and C is the same as that between assembly and C?
