I've actually had issues in the past with PDO and non-exception error-mode handling. I had queries that were running fine but when I checked the error value it gave a non-OK value. (I forget what off hand.) As soon as I switched to exceptions, it worked perfectly. I believe this was under 5.2.1. -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
