Temporary tables only exist for the duration of your script, with or without using mysql_pconnect(). If you want a MySQL table to remain, then don't make it temporary. Make it a regular table and then create a cron script that goes through and deletes tables that are more than X minutes/hours old.

As a check I also query the table $SID and voila: the results were indeed stored in this temporary table. 3) On my next page there is this checkbox which says: search within these results. 4) If this checkbox is checked I query the $SID table rather then the info table. 5) but now I get this error: Table 'dbname.ed61c337640e2b0ab8f3ffccb63f8597' doesn't exist as a check I print $SID on each page. and always it is the same SID, which makes sense cause i'm still in the same session. My Q: howcome mySQL is not able to find this temporary table anymore.... It seems to have destroyed this table when leaving the search.php page, but that's a rather odd idea, cause I thought it maintained while the session was still active... any input is largely appreciated! thx and regards, Wilbert ------------------------- Pas de Deux Van Mierisstraat 25 2526 NM Den Haag tel 070 4450855 fax 070 4450852 http://www.pdd.nl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
