Maybe if you ran the delete query, then the optimize table query immed after, it wouldn't take such a long time.. I would imagine if you had quite large tables though, it could still take some time.. And if users are connecting over the internet, you don't want too may delays.. If the user doesn'

I'm not sure how to change DELETE statements in this fashion, but is there a way maybe to run an OPTIMIZE TABLE query every so often in your PHP script.. I don't imagine you'd want it running too often since it locks the table you run it on, but maybe on the reload of $PHP_SELF or something.. It c

Hey, if the databases contain the same data, why don't you just have them use one database. Just set up MySQL with a user on the internet server that the intranet system uses to connect to it with.. Do it over SSL and it would be secure then. Wouldn't that be somewhat simpler and less time consumi

Maybe change mysql_fetch_array($ret) to mysql_fetch_row($ret)? Not sure but I've used that before to do what appears to be similar while loops.. Wouldn't the data still get retrieved in array form with that? If I'm wrong, feel free to publicly ridicule me.. Later, Bob Weaver "Jennifer Downey"

The above post may be unclear.. What he did was used if() statements to compare whatever and generate the query differently based on what he found.. $lotsOdata = $database->result( "SELECT * FROM someTable" ); $count = mysql_num_rows( $lotsOdata ); while( $count > 0 ) { if( $lotsOdata[city] !

I don't know that I could help much with your statement.. But you mentioned doing if() statements in SQL queries.. Well, my programmer always writes them into PHP scripts then just runs them from there.. Then he can include if() conditions, or whatever else he needs.. Just a quick little cust_impo
