Hi, I have a couple of quick questions to ask. The first question is when I insert a record, how do I make it send out an e-mail as well?

The other is how do I make the rows do alternate colors with MX?

Well sorry I have one other question, when I insert a record, my page's won't rediret, I get a message saying headers aleady sent and it tells me the line number. So when I comment the following line of code out

header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));

The error goes away and the page still doesn't redirect.

Thanks for your time.

Is that not ASP code?

no, it's PHP code... except that it's far too little for us to know what the problem is!

Well it won't redirect if you comment out the code. ANyway, the problem here is your use of the sprintf command, which (if you read the manual) actually outputs the resultant string to the browser. Because this has happened, the header("Location: ...." element of the line can't work, as out put has been sent to the browser.

The simple solution to your problem is this:-

header("Location: $insertGoTo";

Which will produce the desired result.

As for the rest of your post, it's impossible to give any advice without further information...

All the best

Hey thanks, you guys, Well here is my code for the alternate row color

//Recordset

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['totalRows_rsTagBoard'])) {
$totalRows_rsTagBoard = $HTTP_GET_VARS['totalRows_rsTagBoard'];
} else {
$all_rsTagBoard = mysql_query($query_rsTagBoard);
$totalRows_rsTagBoard = mysql_num_rows($all_rsTagBoard);
}
$totalPages_rsTagBoard = ceil($totalRows_rsTagBoard/$maxRows_rsTagBoard)-1;

$maxRows_rsUpdates = 2;
$pageNum_rsUpdates = 0;
if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['pageNum_rsUpdates'])) {
$pageNum_rsUpdates = $HTTP_GET_VARS['pageNum_rsUpdates'];
}
$startRow_rsUpdates = $pageNum_rsUpdates * $maxRows_rsUpdates;


______________________________

//The Rows


&lt;?php do { ?&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td height="13" colspan="2" class="text"&gt;&lt;a href="&lt;?php echo $row_rsTagBoard['SiteLink']; ?&gt;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;?php echo $row_rsTagBoard['TagName']; ?&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#999999"&gt;&#8224;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&nbsp;&lt;?php echo $row_rsTagBoard['Message']; ?&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td height="13" colspan="2"&gt;&lt;hr size="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;?php } while ($row_rsTagBoard = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsTagBoard)); ?&gt;

I've created a mini forum for people to post on the site, it's duplicating the TagBoard CGI Script. Thanks again for your help with my other question.
