Well, I kept hacking at it and changing the describe() method from this: // get a description of a table function describe($table) {

       $db = $this->db;
             $q = $db->prepare("SELECT * FROM $table LIMIT 0");
       $result = $db->execute($q);
             foreach ($result->tableInfo() as $c)
           $this->columns[$c['name']] = NULL;

} to this: // get a description of a table function describe($table) {

       $db = $this->db;
       $columns = array();
                $q = $db->prepare("SELECT * FROM $table LIMIT 0");
       $result = $db->execute($q);
             foreach ($result->tableInfo() as $c)
           $columns[$c['name']] = NULL;
                 $this->columns = $columns;

} seems to fix it. I can't see any reason why other than what appears to be general PHP brokenness. If anyone has a rational explanation as to why this is so I'd be grateful to hear it. Regards, Cliff
