@ralf57 - i have to agree with walesmd. i've been using CI Active Record for a year now and it's just great for most everything.
but, this class is an advancement I was ready to make - i am just lazy about writing lots of redundant code.
but, you can see from my struggles above, it's not a path for a beginner - especially if you are still on PHP4.
EDIT... HEY! it must be karma. I just noticed I became a "Senior Member" with this post. 300 posts in a little over a year.
