Thanks Jeremy, I finally found the solution: <?php $query="SELECT * FROM DB1 JOIN DB2 ON DB1.dataid=DB2.dataid"; $queryupd="UPDATE DB1 SET dateval='20010101' where dateval='20000101'"; $hostname = "serverdb"; $username = "user"; $password = "pwd"; $dbName = "DB"; mssql_connect($hostname,$username,$password) or die("DATABASE FAILED TO RESPOND."); mssql_select_db($dbName) or DIE("Table unavailable"); $result2 = MSSQL_QUERY($queryupd); // Execute Update Statment $result = MSSQL_QUERY($query); // Execute Select Statment $number = MSSQL_NUM_ROWS($result); $i=0; if($number == 0) print "No data?"; elseif($number > 0){ print "Number of rows: $number<BR>"; while($i < $number){ $dateval= mssql_result($result,$i,"dateval"); echo "<TR><TD><FONT color=#112266>$dateval</FONT></TD>"; $i++;} }?>
And it works fine ! Now I'm looking for the same function for IBM DB2 database connection... Jerry "Jeremy Reed" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > What was the error message you received?
