I need to learn more about arrays so I don't have to type out all of my data! :P But first, I'll get it working and then I'll redo it. It's a good exercise for me.

L> File: update.php <? // .... More include stuff, blah, blah, blah.... $task_id = $_POST['task_id']; // Passed from the "HTML-ized" area of cron.php $sql = "UPDATE tasks SET completed='1' WHERE id='".$task_id."' LIMIT 1;"; mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error()); ?>

Currently when I try and pass the variable from viewall.php to update.php by doing a <a href="update.php?$row[0]"> Click here!</A> I'm getting this error: "[Fri Jun 15 16:10:10 2007] [error] PHP Notice: Undefined index: taskid in update.php on line 4" and line 4 from the script looks like this: $task_id = $_POST['taskid']; //Passed from the HTML-ized area of cron.php Am I just totally missing something and making a very stupid newbie mistake? Or have I stumbled onto something that is at least mildly hard?

The latter.... Your line should look like this <a href="update.php?taskid=$row[0]"> Click here!</A> and you grabbing line should look like this $task_id = (int)$_GET['taskid']; //Passed from the HTML-ized area of cron.php

L> File: cronjob.php <? // .... Guess what goes here!.... $dow = (date("N") - 1); $sql = "UPDATE tasks SET completed='0' WHERE day_of_week='".$dow."''; mysql_query($sql); ?> [cron] 40 03 * * * /path/to/cronjob.php >> /dev/null 2>&1 NOTE: This was entirely typed directly into the mail client, and NONE of it was tested, so it probably has tons of bugs.

Actually, if I am reading it right, it doesn't have too many! :)
