1. This is not a support forum, but usenet. People are free to discuss
other people's postings in every aspect they consider as worth to be
discussed.

2. Shelly and me did not blame you, but blamed Webwasp for his/her
rudeness when blaming you.

3. You get very competent inputs by J.O. Aho in the other branch of this
thread. Feel free to ignore other branches like the one here, where the
discussion might not be helpful for you.

4. 4 days ago you started the thread "MySQL/PHP5 $_GET issue", where you
got competent help from J.O. Aho and myself. Instead of trying what J.O.
Aho suggested and provided the information necessary for tracking down
your problem, you decided to abandon this thread and start a new one.
This could be interpreted as a contradiction to your apologies and
assertions of appreciacion.

As far as I can see you got 2 pieces of advice you did not follow yet:
- echo the SQL query to see how it is actually sent to the database
- try to not mix GET and POST data
What prevents you from just trying it and reporting the results?
