We Have A Guru In The House
Argie, you are one of the ONLY sources of joy for myself in the last three weeks as I spent the time screaming and tearing my hair out trying to wade through an undercurrent of pedantic pestilence for an oh-so-simple way in which to perform a simple update using the PDO methodology. I did the HashPHP tutorial, investigated some Kevin Yank literature, and read almost 600-plus questions in forums like Stack Overflow, Sitepoint, Digitalpoint, et al.
I was starting to think that I was going slightly insane, like, somehow a fundamental grasp on reality was about to be severed. How many tutorials and forums did I have to go through before I reached you, Argie?!? I've read AT LEAST 2 to 3,000 pages on the subject, and I'm still as confuzzled as a newborn in the wild.
This is just a note of thanks from someone who's been returned their sanity by your helpful, graceful hand. Madame, I salute you ;)
