Possibly. It was just a SELECT * though. quote: Matt Is there a specific reason why you can't upgrade PHP? I've just tested the code on PHP 5 here on Windows and it works fine. This is for a project which will be demoed, so they're using phpDev as a portable server type thingy, and that doesn't have a version with PHP 5. quote: If it's the easy PHP installation you're after, it's not all that hard to create your own set up routine for Apache and PHP. Because it's a project that would have to be justified and explained and stuff - easier for them to say "I used this ready-made tool thing" or whatever (especially since the deadline is in about 36 hours time.) The software side of things doesn't have to work perfectly - since they can discuss anything that doesn't work in their writeup, so it's easier to just do that then worry too much about getting it working. `3.1415P265E589T932E846R64338`

why not make your own timestamp?

like [year][month][day][hour][minute][second][millisecond?]

2007042600153500

for 12:15:35.00 AM on 26th April, 2007.

Granted, it would require twice the storage of a unix timestamp in an INT, but it's even more flexible.

i.e. it would work :).
