Thank you. > I'm assuming it has something to do with > the "%" I used in those entries. Yes it is. If you want to add the % sign, you'll need to add the following to the config file so that the % sign is in the variable before trying to log to the database. $trade = $trade . "%"; At the moment, you have lots an lots of check boxes, and instead of putting them all into individual columns in the database you want to put all the haves in one and all the needs in another? If so, this is how I would start off... $have_col = ""; $need_col = ""; if (is_array($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { -- while (list($temp_key, $temp_value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) ---- if ($temp_value == "ON") { ------ if (ereg("^have_", $temp_key)) -------- $have_col .= "$temp_key,"; ------ if (ereg("^need_", $temp_key)) -------- $need_col .= "$temp_key,"; ---- } -- } -- substr_replace($have_col, "", -1); -- substr_replace($need_col, "", -1); } Cycles through all variables, if they have a value of ON and have a prefix of have_ or need_ then the name of the field is added to a comma separated list. The substr_repalce just knocks off the last comma. Hope this helps, Regards, Patrick O'Hara WhitsundayIT QLD, Australia patrick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.whitsundayit.com P.S. you'll need to test the code above and tweek it if needed. *************************************************************************** This is an automatically-generated notice.
