Sorry. I was getting an error everytime. It said I could not divide by 0. What happened, is I'm getting my values from a MySQL database, then counting the entries, and putting them into an HTML table. I'm dividing two of them to get the ratio, but some of the values where 0, so I had to add a unless the string is equal to 0. Then it worked.

I thought I was doing it wrong, but I guess It was just that. Thank you though!!!

BTW, Last time I asked a MySQL syntax question here I got downvoted, so, can you please tell me where a good place to ask is, I just joined the MySQL list, and I asked a question there this morning, and it still has not been answered, nor have I seen it come across my list email account. So Maybe there is a better place to ask?

thx,
Richard
