Well, there's only one way to be sure how mysql_insert_id() works...read the source code of PHP :) but unfortunately I dont have the source code, and even if I do, I won't read it, because I am lousy at reading someone's code...:) nice discussion, Neil :) -- Jimmy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Buy Land.
