It's usually used as a single character wildcard. So "something = ?" would match "A", "B", "1", etc.. but not "AB, "A1". -TG = = = Original message = = = In the some code I'm working with I see many database queries using the PEAR DB class where "?" is used for a value in the SQL. What is the rule for using "?" in this way what value does it take. Example code. $ticket=$db->getRow( "SELECT id,department,from, cc, bcc FROM tickets WHERE id=?", array($tid) ); Jeff ___________________________________________________________ Sent by ePrompter, the premier email notification software.
