Thanks a lot, Paul. That has helped to explain it. I agree with you too that it's a good idea to type out the code. I think I will do that from now on. Thanks again. Arny

Another question, sorry! I`m working on Chapter 6, and I am new to MySQL, so please bear with me. I thought I had got the hang of the parent_id concept but after I had copied and pasted the script, I am even more confused. I thought that if, say, users were replying to the fourth message on the database, then the parent_id for any replies to that particular message would be 4 - i.e. the parent_id stores the message_id to which the new message is a reply. The script that I downlaoded doesn`t follow this. Have I picked this up wrong? Sorry if this seem like a dumb question. Many thanks, Arny

I have just found the answer.

I cant seem to find the download for chapter 6. I have the downloads for most of the other chapters, but not this one. Im looking to populate the database. Can anyone help please? Many thanks.

Hi I`m new to this forum, and also new to php/mysql, so please bear with me. I am currently learning how to use mysql client, but I can't figure out how to amend an error after I have entered the semi-colon and pressed Enter. Quite often I have typed a long passage of commands, only to find after I have pressed Enter that I have made an error. As I can't get it amended, I have to start all over again. The book does say to use the arrow keys and and scroll up until I find the line with the error it in, but this doesnt seem to work. I can scroll up but I cant seem to get the line amended. Could anybody help me this please, Many thanks, Arnold
