Perhaps there is > a syntax error? thanks for the tip. i'd already done that. and executed the SQL directly in the mysql client program. it works there. i then decided to write the same program in C. it doesn't work there either. i tested in PHP4 and it works *there*. so i guess i'll just migrate to PHP4 rather than groveling through the minutiae trying to find the particular bug. btw, is there a debugger (like gdb, or better) for PHP? i find that when i write programs that are big enough (either scripting/command-line or web-based), i find myself wishing there were a debugger available :). it's painful having to debug with print statements. tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo tiger@kami.com http://members.xoom.com/TigerQuimpo entia non sunt multiplicanda veritas liberabit vos praetere necessitatem mene sakhet ur-seveh
