I still don't know what to do with the examples. Please take a look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-create-db.php and then at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-num-rows.php
I don't think that the second one is less readable. Additionally, every example is placed in the table with cellpadding=5, which is IMHO enough indentation :-) If I can express my opinion, I'm -1 for this indenting. slawek-
