? One of the reasons for using 'prepare' is to set up a query which can be run several times and some of those passes may require that one of the parameters IS null. Easy enough with the array passed to Execute, but more difficult if you have used the PDO parameter handling. In my book being able to flag a parameter as 'NULL' for a pass is just as important as supplying a value, so while yes NULL is a state, it is also a valid value for a parameter. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
