oops, I'm sorry I thought I put what I WAS doing with it, because of my concern, I guess I put that in the question I asked in the MySQL list...

I added this, just before the MySQL Syntax:

if ($max_recs1 !~ /^(10|20|40|80|120|160)$/) {
    $html_content .= qq~You have entered an ILLEGAL Number of Results 
+to post!!~ . br() x 2;
    search_box();
    return;
}

Sorry about that :o(

What I'm wondering about is if I can put the $max_recs1 in as a placeholder, in a LIMIT.

Did that make it clearer I hope?


UPDATE: Sorry, nevermind. I guess If I check to make sure it is one of the numbers I offer as a choice, then it don't matter If I make it a placeholder or not, since they cannot put anything but one of the numbers....

thx,
Richard
