Uh... either do a separate select for each table, or find a way to JOIN the tables? Better than that, if you're doing what it looks like you're doing - keeping two separate tables, one for approved banners and one for non-approved one? - make a single "banners" table with an 'approved' field... then it's simple. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
