Hi Chad

Would you care to expand on that? The example that you used simply calculates the next number in a sequence of numbers in a table.

There isn’t any disastrous potential unless you know of something that we don’t. This a very commonly used one line statement.

$catID = mysql_result(mysql_query(“SELECT MAX(catID)+1 AS catID FROM categories”),0);

If you’re going to post how to do this you REALLY REALLY REALLY should also inform the potential starter developers of the disastrous potentials. You’re giving them the keys to the car but not explaining that driving full speed through a crowd of people in a cross walk will get you into trouble in the real world.
