Two notes about PHP and MySQL: 1. Get used to the syntax $myquery = "<your query here>"; $result = mysql_query($myquery); instead of $result = mysql_query("<your query here>"); Some of the benefits of the proposed syntax are: - abilty to perform a global search to your scripts nice and easy - ability to easily output/debug your queries 2. The second note has more to do with MySQL: Timestamp fields update automaticaly everytime you issue an Update query. Read the documentation!! I lost 3 days of my life because of this -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+26806 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+26806 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+26806
