Is it possible to get the actual sql that is being used to query or update the database?> E.g $sth = $dbh->prepare ("update table set field=?, field2=? where id=?); mysqli_bind_param ($sth, 'ssi', 'text1', 'text2', 10); $sth->execute(); Something like $sth->sql? Or $dbh->sql? Thanks in advance, Peet

Hi Peet, not sure if there is a method to echo the sql but you can set your development MySQL server to log all queries to a log file. Use the log file with tail and you'll get a live view of all queries the server attempts to process. Open my.cnf / my.ini and add the following line: log= "/path/to/log/mysqld_query.log" or log="D:\logs\mysqld_query.log" More info here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/query-log.html I hope this helps ... ohh and don't forget to clear the log every now and then because it will get HUGE quickly. -- John
