Hey all -- thanks for the php help -- I've got it all working now. But I've got a mysql question: I want to append two select results to eachother. Is there a good way to do this (ie, not: make temp table, insert select1 into temp_table, select2 into temp table.) I've got two tables ID Last A 1 Smith some 2 Kim one ID2 Last B 1 Fred other 2 Barg than and I want to get outputed: ID ID2 Last A B 1 Smith some 2 Kim one 1 Fred other 2 Barg than Basically, I want to the two tables merged together, but I want no overlap -- the join command seems to work for joining two table containing linked information, but I've got different entries in two types of tables. (The purpose of this is so I can sorta on Last between the two tables) Any ideas? Thanks, Ben
