I have to go check to see about the .htaccess file, I need to read up on these, like what is the difference and if you have one do you need the other? .htaccess is for directory control yes? If that is the case there is none in the directory I have this project in. I just stopped and restarted my xampp and that didn't work either...should I make a .htaccess file for this directory to over ride whatever setting is preventing the headers from loading? Thanks guys Terion
Re: [PHP] Re: header modify errors
Hey,
Few things:
1) Check to see if you have any trailing spaces after the end of the file.
2) Check to see if your session_start() is not the first line of the code.
Thanks,

Re: [PHP] Create unique non-autoincrement key for 700,000 records?
update mytable set hash_field = md5(AutoIdField + unix_timestamp()) I _think_ I understand that - - - - but what does the AutoldField variable mean?

If i had to guess, it would be the column/field in the table that has the autoincrement value.

He probably intends AutoIdField to be a stand-in for whatever your current auto increment column is called. You probably want to create a unique index - http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/create-index.html - on hash_value as well for (1) performance and (2) to ensure against duplicate values (which are, admittedly, pretty unlikely). Another alternative is to use the uuid() function - http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/miscellaneous-functions.html#function_uuid - instead of the md5() above, eg update mytable set unique_field=uuid(); - steve On Monday, December 15, 2008, at 09:37PM, Bastien Koert phps...@gmail.com wrote: On Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 9:29 PM, Rob Gould gould...@mac.com wrote: I have a mySQL database with 700,000 records in it, which are presently keyed with an auto-increment field.
