If this is the code that you're actually using then I suspect that your problem is more in the conditional you've got in your 'if' statement. You aren't doing a compare you're actually setting $num_results to 0. A comparison is '==' rather than just '. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Outback Queensland Internet ************************ Longreach ** New Web Site Online * Queensland ************************ Australia W: www.outbackqld.net.au -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
