What I wanted to say is that users, who do not like passing null values to queryRow() just to set a fetch mode, can always set the fetch mode globally. This way they can use $mdb2->queryRow($query); instead of $mdb2->queryRow($query, null, MDB_FETCHMODE_FOO); because the fetch mode is already defined. -- - Martin Martin Jansen http://martinjansen.com/
