Thanks Larry, I love a challenge and will work this out. If you think this is going to be too advanced for me than perhaps you could suggest some resources in which I can learn the skills required? I am intrigued by your last sentence and would love to know what the difference is that you are referring to? It's all a learning curve, I need to learn all this stuff so if you are prepared to offer some advice, then that would be great. How did you learn it? I feel I can follow all the PHP stuff, but I will admit that I haven't taken many tutorials in mysql (which I will address). I look forward to working on. Thanks for your help, Lew

Thanks Jonathon. It's great to know that this is possible. Could you elaborate on how I would do this please? Do I need to create a .sql file myself in my text editor with these procedures in order to be able to call them? What I mean is, if I use the .sql file and execute the query using a php command should this work if I include the sql page? Having had a peak at the zip file, it would seem this is the case. I saw an 'include (mysql)' command on the shop page. What specifically does this command refer to? Thanks for your help and for helping me learn this stuff!! Lew

Hi Larry, Thanks very much for writing this book. I have come a bit unstuck and really hope you can help me!! 1) In the book you say that all the SQL commands can be downloaded. I can't seem to find them anywhere? Are they within the zip files? 2) My biggie question: I have been working perfectly up until the 'stored procedures' section (an area I see a few others have struggled with too). I use the justhost C-Panel which has PhpMyadmin for all the mysql database work. I cannot seem to create or work with the stored procedures on here. When I googled it, it said that essentially PhpMyadmin doesn't support this functionality. Can you make any suggestions as to how I could get this to work? One thought was to create a php function instead but I'm not sure entirely how that would work! Is there an alternative method? I would say I am still fairly new to Php and web design but I do have a reasonable understanding and feel that essentially I could successfully complete this book. Stored Procedures is something I have never encountered before so if you can help me I would be extremely grateful. Apologies if I'm asking thats already been asked but I thought best to put my question in my own words. I very much look forward to your reply. Happy new year!! Lew
