Right, and it is storing more then I need. After running it a few times, I decided to see what happens if someone chose every parameter possible. What I found is that even if I just saved the keywords, I'd still need to use mediumtext. In mysql, there doesn't seem to be anything between varchar

You could do something trick with an IFRAME or something that calls another script passing the data via the URL/$_GET instead of submitting a hidden form. Or just record the data in the session variables and process it that way. If you're using PHP, there's lots of things you can do to capture

Javascript. Forms are submitted from the client, so PHP has absolutely nothing to do with submitting a form. PHP just process the data passed to it. You can you javascript timers to automatically submit a form after a certain interval. On Oct 1, 2004, at 10:19 AM, Stuart Felenstein wrote: I'm

I'm guessing that COM is going to be overkill for this. I thought some systems like ADOdb let you get to Access tables directly without COM. I'm imaginging that COM might not always be a viable way to go anyway, if you have an Access .MDB file on a server where your PHP stuff is hosted, they

ADODB is a PHP abstraction layer class. In other words it hides the fact that it is using the odbc extension to connect to Access. And, it has another driver that uses the COM extension to connect to Accesss (ado_access). Basically there are only 3 options for connecting to Access from PHP. They
