Hi,
it's a great tip to install PhpMyAdmin - or phpPgAdmin for PostgresSQL - this will only take you at most half an hour even for a newcomer. You can then easily test queries, see any error messages and see what result they have on tables. In this case I'd echo out the query echo $query = "UPDATE countertable SET CurrDate = '$ndate' WHERE ID = $id" and try to cut-and-paste it into the query-field in PhpMyAdmin. When you say "nothing happens" you'd probably discover that ID is a number not matching anything _or_ that $nDate and the field are not proper date values ;-) Hope it helps! Frank, U5 ~~~~ PHP work!
