Well, both ways mean I know what I should be expecting. I'd rather do one call per field than one call to retrieve the data, another call to covert the data. That means setting up a db just for the convert. I don't care for it. Even with all the nice wrappers. To much "baggage" to keep track of. ;) Also, if you have a select box where you can select multiple values, you have no choice but to use QzhbCGIParse.
