I have posted the following message a couple of times on the php-db
list and have not gotten
a response. I am hoping someone here is willing to help.

Thank you
John


Below is the output and code for my problem.  When the database gets read,
it returns 0 rows.  When it writes, it says it can't because of duplicate
entry.  FLD_FileName and FDL_Path are the Primary key.

Two questions, what I am doing wrong and is there a better way to create a
string of text then the one used below.

TIA
John
