Yes, the need to roll queries by inserting parameters directly into the query string is definitely a PHP misfeature (for versions less than 5), since the database access modules don't accommodate parametrized queries. PHP5 finally introduced a standardized database API that allows parametrized queries. Of course, Python has had this since 1996. -Carsten -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
