I was going to chime in and blast the guy who posted "PHP Developers and the manual", who I think intimidated the next guy who asked if there is a newbie forum. But dude, there are many ways to skin a cat. You posted 1 method and if you read that link and scrolled down, you would see comments by users with actual code and their experiences with this function. If their comments were not applicable, you could return to the "See Also" area mentioning date() and time(). For my first PHP job, I told my prospective employer that I didn't have any on-the-job experience with PHP, (but had other languages practiced and certified professionally), and if I would have access to the php.net website, I would have all I needed. That was 5 years ago and I only subscribed to this general list a few months ago when my admin couldn't explain why my working code stopped working (and he claimed he didn't make any change, but it turns out he had). However, I was on the PHP-DB list that first year. Enough about me. I never thought I'd say this in earnest... RTFM Have I become like who I've despised? _________________________________________________________________ Climb to the top of the charts!  Play Star Shuffle:  the word scramble challenge with star power. http://club.live.com/star_shuffle.aspx?icid=starshuffle_wlmailtextlink_oct
