If you are not using them as foreign keys, how does it matter? They are simply identifiers for a particular record. If you need to know the number of records a select count(*) does that quickly enough, gaps are irrelevant.

Baker; PHP Email List Subject: Re: [PHP] Inserting records in a particular way in MySQL Phillip, It doesn't matter, obviously you're not using the autoincrement ID for a foreign key. All this does is identify a record. If you did a SELECT and found a missing sequence number, what's to say that value would not be inserted by another user before your INSERT? If you have not set up the table with a MyISAM, MySQL will eventually use the missing numbers. These are only identifying tags, with no intrinsic meaning.

I use extensively cookies in my web applications, but have reached the 4 kB
limit. So now I need to 'convert' all my cookies to session variables. Have
got an idea how I can create such for one variable, but here I have multi
element cookies. Reading the php manual gives me no idea on how to do this.
Here's the recipe for my cookies:
function formCookie() {
var cookieValue = document.$formname.totalAns.value+'|'; // Using '|' to
split each part of the cookie
cookieValue +=
document.form01.correct.value+'$test[1]'+document.form01.question1.value+doc
ument.form01.answer.value+'|';
cookieValue +=
document.form02.correct.value+'$test[1]'+document.form02.question2.value+doc
ument.form02.answer.value+'|';
<more lines>
document.cookie = '$answercookie='+escape(cookieValue)+';expires=';

In that case you may want to look at this class for composing and sending messages that comes with sub-class to deliver with sendmail program directly. It comes with options to let you choose the appropriate sendmail delivery mode:

Thanks for that. I'll look at it and see if I can modify it for my needs.
The problem isn't sendmail priority. The system isn't doing anything and sendmail isn't doing anything. The problem is that it takes sendmail awhile for it to respond. No. sendmail isn't broke, it just has to do a lot of thinking before it talks to a client. I want to remove that problem from the equation by puting sendmail in the background once its called.

The class above lets you tell sendmail to act that way but usually it is better to tell it to queue the message instead of trying to deliver it right away because if you attempt to deliver many messages at once you can exhaust your server resources easily and your script will break.
