Then I pass it through this.. while(list($id, $text, $url, $m_order) = mysql_fetch_row($result)) { $out .= "$text - $m_order \n"; } echo $out;
    Is there a reason you're not simplifying this to the following?
<? while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    $out .= $row['text']." - ".$row['m_order']."\n";
} Hi Dan,

Thanks for the input. The only reason is that I'm inheriting this from someone else and am asked to do a 'quick' fix to get it working again. The whole script is a little kludgy and it may be better to redo it. Is there anything fundamentally wrong with the while(list()) approach, or is it just messy? Best rgds, vern
