Hi, I've been trying to figure this out by looking through the code in phpMyAdmin but I'm not getting very far. There's probably some help about it somewhere. What I want to do is dynamically generate a form where I get a table row containing the field name in one cell and the input field in the next cell, for example: $DatabaseName = "FocusDynamics"; $TableName = "Items"; // open the table and get all field names, sizes, etc., // for each Field name, print something like: PRINT "<tr>\n"; PRINT "<td>$FieldName</td>\n"; PRINT "<td><input type=\"text\" name=\"$FieldName\" value=\"$FieldValue\" maxlength=\"FieldSize\"></td>\n"; PRINT "</tr>"; How do I get all this info from the table? Thanks for any help. Martin E. Koss M: 07946-706459 E: mek@mek.co.uk
