Well I can't see what this has to do with PHP let alone the implode() function. The error quite clearly says "unknown column ..." The proper use of IN requires that string values must be enclosed in either single-quotes or double-quotes. Thus you need to make $array look like: 'PTX526_P_1','SIM_1' or "PTX526_P_1","SIM_1" -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * /* It is the wisdom of crocodiles, that shed tears when they would devour. -- Francis Bacon */
