I would suggest instead the built-in PDO module for PHP. This is
generic, and suitable for several DBMS back-ends. But any direct queries
using features unique to a specific DBMS (like Ash's "last inserted id")
will have to be coded specifically for your back-end.

Insertions are considered elementary, and they are typically done one

more complex than that for inserts, because the task is more complex.

the dot operator used this way was a mistake for
PHP. Not using the dot operator to mean "concatenate" would mean we
could use it to replace the accursed '->' for class/method selection.
And the plus operator is obviously a more natural fit for string
concatenation.

In general, on contact forms or "about us" pages, I include some

My evaluation is that Rampersad is a troll at best. He's being invited
to my blacklist. I wouldn't pay attention to him.

All this is fortunate, since I don't think PHP is even aware of the ID

Since doing this is pretty tedious, I use a function here instead:
function set_selected($fieldname, $value)
{
if ($_POST[$fieldname] == $value)
echo 'selected=&
I don't really watch these
things since I use Linux and view mail as straight text. But isn't there
some current exploit where images which can be downloaded as part of an
