Thanx for this enlightening insight about cron jobs... just a question.. when i run Optimize.php, i realise that you will echo some statements. where will these statements be shown? since you put " > /dev/null " instead of " > /dev/null 2>&1 ", does it mean that your echo statements will be ref

What you wrote will give you the list of users who also happen to have comments. What you really want is more like this: SELECT Users.ID, Users.UserName, Comments.Description FROM Users LEFT JOIN Comments ON Users.ID = Comments.UserID; (note that you'll need to have the UserID foreign key in you

The PHP manual (a useful read btw !) states that === tests for equality and *exact* equivalence, that is: If you test for ==='1' then $var must be a string for the result to be true if you test for ===1 then $var must be an integer or double type for the result to be true Usually its used in te

Nope. Access' version of SQL is a slight bit different from ANSI SQL. All he needs to do in his statement is change it to this: $query="DELETE * FROM Test_Table WHERE name='franco';"; (notice the wildcard in there-- Access isn't smart enough to realize that the deletion of any information in
