A DB isn't required for a dynamic site, but it certainly makes things easier. But a database does not have to be installed on the server for you to make use of a database. Since the mysql support is built-in, you can make use of the mysql_connect,mysql_query,etc... functions to connect to an external database. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
