You should test it out to see if your system isn't passing the value automatically. $result = mysql_query($sql, $connect); //<-- like this The reason you may be seeing 1 instead of the value you expected is that the mysql_query() function can return True even if it doesn't succesfully execute the query. In that case you may see the output 1 becuase the boolean True evaluates to 1 in the parser. -- Kevin
