Bastien, thanks for the answer. But as I understand the problem and your suggestion, this won’t work, or you have to explain it to me with this example. For example, let’s reduce the function to two input fields and the following functioning: InputField1=A InputField2=B OutputField=X InputField1=A InputField2=C OutputField=Y How can you store this in the form you suggested in a relational database? Or would a non-relational database (e.g. an OO-database) make more sense? Thanks, Ben

Create the DB to run in a vertical format consider the horizontal style record_id field1 field2 field3 fieldN which is great for fixed designs The vertical format would be record_id attribute argument -- Bastien Cat, the other other white meat -- Bastien Cat, the other other white meat -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php ___________________________________________________________ Schon gehört?
