I know that I need to initialise them on entry but how do I get PHP to
ignore the initial values when Submit pressed. When I try to initialise them
with defaults they then always stick with these and they also print to the
screen.

	No do not hold back, I think that this may be accepted as a tool we
could use so any concerns you have will be well received. If it is about
accessing the database as localhost then I am aware that I need to be
accessing the database with a restricted user to avoid someone writing a
script to truncate the tables.


Please keep it simple I have only just been using mySQL and PHP for 5 days
and am no Wizard.

Harry.
