Bret Your vote is misplaced - the first one isn't what he wanted... with that statement, his form will never be printed and it can never be set. You are right of course, In looking at the original post I misread it to be if (! $_POST['op'] != 'ds ). I guess Since this is the sort of construct I have cleaned up the most lately. Actually most of what I have been finding is stuff like if (!$varname ){ That is, doing something if a variable is not set to a true value and also using that for a test for existence. turn on notices and get a lesson on how to make a log file grow quickly :) Bret -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
