RE: [PHP-DB] Simple field replace...?
Try using the substring function in your sql statement
Substring('String',32);

Re: [PHP-DB] Simple field replace...?
Sorry, I'll specify... I have one column, in a row of perhaps 4 fields. I want to remove the first 32 characters from onlt one field EG: My DB: namedateurl ip bob 1/2/99 http:// 1.1.1.1. sue 4/6/01 http:// 2.2.2.2 If I wanted to remove just the http bit and leave :// I'd have to remove the first 4 characters from all the 'url' column. this is what I wanna do, jsut 100+ times over. but the first 32 characters.

Re: [PHP-DB] Simple field replace...?
Then a simple substring will do: UPDATE mytable SET url = SUBSTRING( url FROM 5 ) btw your date column looks pretty awful.
