I dont take this lightly, SQL may be the best way in the long run but for
the initial prototype it is not, I have thought about it and PHP is the best
solution at this time for the requirements I have.

Sorry, I do take advice, but as I have not given full details of what I
require and the requirments was to just clean up some PHP code on a PHP
newsgroup it would be helpful if some nice person would help me with that.

I have now looked at the PHP side of things and AFAICS all that was required
was the 'mysql_num_rows()' function.

Thanks for your feedback, when I need scalable code I will move things over
to the SQL side if that turns out the way to approach it. At the moment I
just want a single PHP file program that is not too complex and has all or
most of the logic encapsulated.

Cheers,

Aaron
