I have access to only one box that is older than PHP 5.2.0, and that's a 5.1.6 box. Here's a bigger question: When will people stop using mysql_ as their example API, when PDO is more standard in PHP 5 and more secure, and mysqli is available as well? -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 larry@garfieldtech.com ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson
