A user will log in and there zip code is set in a session. I then take that zip code and compare it against another zip code in the database. As I loop through the database each record is compared to the user's zip and a function is run giving me the distance of the user. What I want to do is sort the database by that value, but that value doesn't exist in the database it is created by the script itself so I cannot use SQL to sort the database. It was suggested that I put the database in an array, add the new value created by the script, and sort it by this new value. I thought that I could use the array_push, but still how to I add that to a recordset where the value I need to sort it by is created on the fly? Does that make it clearer? V "John W.
