Thank you for a speedy reply! I was more interested in setting up the IP log to hold IP's indefinitely because most of the visitors to my wifes site are on broadband and here in Canada at least, we hold our IP's for months on end. So if there isn't a way to prevent the IP log from flushing that's Ok ........... the script rocks and I'm not going to start over because of a small problem like tihs. Once again a big THANKS!
ps... I'll post a link in about a week. I think there are alot of people looking for a great image rating system without too many bells and whistles which is exactly what I've done with 4images.
