Making assumptions about the order of an associative array is doubly so, although PHP seems remarkably forgiving about it. But assuming that's really what you want: <? $pairs = array(); foreach ( array_slice($HTTP_POST_VARS, 2) as $key => $value) $pairs[] = $key . "='" . $value . "'"; $updateString .= join(', ', $pairs); ?> -- Robin Vickery................................................. BlueCarrots, 14th Floor, 20 Eastbourne Terrace, London, W2 6LE
