So i > want it to switch between the 2 cases OK. Suppose the possible values for $submit are 'insert' and 'update'. [I assume those are values _you_ can assign to a submit button] Then switch($submit) { case 'insert': // Your insert stuff here break; //So it doesn't fall through to the next case case 'update: // Your update stuff here break; case default: // The page has somehow been called without a value (or an // inappropriate value) for submit // Error handling or whatever here } Does that make it clearer? or muddier :-) -- David Robley | WEBMASTER & Mail List Admin RESEARCH CENTRE FOR INJURY STUDIES | http://www.nisu.flinders.edu.au/ AusEinet | http://auseinet.flinders.edu.au/ Flinders University, ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
