thanks, makes some sense.

so now where I have echo, I should have print? or just leave as echo
and add the else and ||?

Could you provide some sample code based on the code I posted
previously by chance??

being new to PHP I am sure I will run into errors for a few days, as is...

that would help me out greatly.



thx,
