Subject: Re: [PHP] UPDATE - Changing Password

Hey.

I'd like to thank everyone who helped me. I was able to fix the code by
printing the query to c wat was wrong, and also, pg_cmdtuples( ) was very
useful :-).

Does anybody know how to find out what version of PHP i may be running?

Thanx Again

Yasmine
