How do I prevent this from happening? Two solutions: 1 - Don't use a timestamp - it's only doing what it is designed to :) 2 - Add another timestamp to your table before the one you want to keep static, i.e. have: modified timestamp, created timestamp Then when you update the table only the first timestamp (modified) will change, created will remain the same. -- Best regards, Richard Davey http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/296.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
