not trying to be sneaky or hide anything, the only thing is that it is a long code and what ever is wrong with what I am using it will not let me paste the code over!?! when I echo $inst i get the expected result (i.e. 1 or 2) but even if the result is 1 it goes into the loop...and yes the select method is in the html code.
thanks again...sorry I'm making life so difficult by not including enough code...I'll try again and post it if I am able to paste it. _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
