An alterative is get the data you need back from the database then you just have one result to go through in php. select ug.username, g.* from groups g left join usergroup ug on (g.id = ug.group_id) where ug.username = 'tparker'; +----------+---------------+ | username | g.id | g.name | +----------+---------------+ | tparker | 3 | group3 | | tparker | 6 | group6 | | NULL | 1 | group1 | if (empty($result->username)) { // not in group } else { // in group } Curt -- "My PHP key is worn out" PHP List stats since 1997: http://zirzow.dyndns.org/html/mlists/
