Re: Mysql Help #2

Depends what is to happen to the array afterwards, but in general no. An interesting thing is to put timing method calls around a block of code in question, you will find something like this (depending upon size of db) takes somehting like 0.005 seconds. Timing things can be useful measures of a pages overhead (one page on a site I hvae currently takes almost 2 seconds on average to build...eek!)
