>I want to search within a result from a query >A specific range (price) If that's what you really want, then you need to save the results of your first query into a table that you can re-query at a later date. Run a cron job to delete old tables. If your query is: SELECT * FROM main WHERE price BETWEEN 0 AND 50; Then you would use CREATE TABLE temp_random_name SELECT * FROM main WHERE price BETWEEN 0 AND 50; And when you need to re-query, select from 'temp_table_name' uniqid will come in handy for making table names. www.php.net/uniqid. Note that you don't want to create a mysql temporary table, i.e. CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE ..., because that table will be removed at the end of the connection, i.e. the end of the script. So it won't be available for the next script to re-query from. ---John Holmes...
