complex queries this way, dependent upon input from picklists, checkboxes,
etc., adding and dropping conditions according to whether or not they have

So why not $sql = " UPDATE $fieldlist $
Have you tried it? I've done this sort of thing before, and it works
just fine. By the time the query string is executed, the variables have
been interpreted.

Hi Mark,
... beside of what was mentioned be4, you have also
a logical error in the way you append to your $sql-
query in the while loop.
Look: letz say, $find is "The Fields of the Nephilim",

0 ==> The
1 ==> Fields
2 ==> of
3 ==> the
4 ==> Nephilim
in your while-
d yes, include the mysql_query() as Mark Gordon mentioned.

Sure he is. Right here:

You aren't calling mysql_query() to execute the query.
