Go back and refine your code so that it IS pretty. You'll get a much better understanding of coding. Just because code works, doesn't mean you are finished. Two obvious things you can fix: 1. Put your database and username password (or create a function to setup the database connection) in a separate file which gets called by your two scripts. When your database password changes, you just need to change the password in one place. Not a bid deal in this case, but imagine if you had 10 pages, 100 pages, etc... 2. You need to validate user input before including it in your sql statements. Good luck, Roberto
