Is this a joke? You are using a LIMIT 1, so your count is always going to be 1.
No, its not a joke. The answer is not going to always 1, its going to be 1 (the value exists in the DB at least once) or 0 (the value doesn't exist in the DB), that's what I am trying to test for. I don't need to know how many times something exists, just if it does. -- Kevin Murphy Webmaster: Information and Marketing Services Western Nevada College www.wnc.edu 775-445-3326
