As to #3.

There are a few cases when you would like to lock tables anyway: If you are going to run many operations on a bunch of tables, it's much faster to lock the tables you are going to use. The downside is, of course, that no other thread can update a READ-locked table and no other thread can read a WRITE-locked table. MySQL doesn't support a transaction environment, so you must use LOCK TABLES if you want to ensure that no other thread comes between a SELECT and an UPDATE. The example shown below requires LOCK TABLES in order to...[/quote] Lite...

Pretty certain you need to accomplish that client-side ie javascript or ajax etc Although, my infamous sledge hammer approach says you could have the add button call a php script that would retain any variable values (sessions are a good way to achieve this) and add another row for input BUT that would necessitate a page 'refresh'.

Hmmm... To use a date as a possible search criteria, you will need to 'expand' the arrays a bit. IF each date is consistent in its format (ie MM/DD/YY) you could insert another pipe "|" to make the date an element of the array. The same holds true for the other search criteria you might want to use. Bottom line is, it would be faster and easier to use a database (mysql etc). Lite...

Ok, here we go, line by line... [code] function truncate_string($details,$max) { [/code] obviously, this first line says "let's make a function named truncate_string; and it will need two pieces of information to do its job. The first is a variable named $details which contains the string/text we want to truncate/shorten. $max is the maximum length of text we want from the string. [code]     if(strlen($details)>$max)     { [/code] This line checks to make sure that the original string is longer than the max length we are looking to create. [code]         $details = substr($details,0,$max); [/code] This line takes a slice off of the original string ($details). the slice starts at the beginning (the 0) and is $max characters long. The original string/text is then replaced with the slice ($details =). [code]        $i = strrpos($details," "); [/code] This line checks to see where the last space is located in our new string. The reason for this is to make sure we didn't cut a word in the middle. [code]         $details = substr($details,0,$i); [/code] This line uses the information from the previous line to actually make the string end with a full word. [code]         $details = $details." ..... ";     } [/code] This line simply adds some periods to the end of our new string to indicate to a reader that there is more text to follow. [code]     return $details; } [/code] This last line of our function simply passes our new string back to our script [code] $text = truncate_string("hello there. This is a long string",19); [/code] This demonstrates how you could use the function in a script. Hope this isn't too muddy. Lite...

Try this in your script [code]<?PHP function truncate_string($details,$max) {     if(strlen($details)>$max)     {         $details = substr($details,0,$max);         $i = strrpos($details," ");         $details = substr($details,0,$i);         $details = $details." .....
