Thanks. A very direct/clear answer. IMO if one doesn't have a clear
grasp of the concepts/steps in using something then they will probably
have problems. As I have had. I thought that when phpMyAdmin said
something like "This is the PHP code" for the query that that is what
it meant. Not that it meant "This is part of the PHP code, you don't
get any output if you use it."
Thank you Janet, and everyone else who contributed input on this
query.
Regards, John.
