When you SELECT from a LEFT JOIN it would make sense for you to be able to access the array like this (IMHO): $row["tbl2.colB"], $row["tbl2.colC"], etc... since two columns in the select could have the same name but different values. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16028&edit=1
