Thanks and no, I don't want someone to write it for me.  I'm not sure 
what you would call this function otherwise I would 'google' it, then 
gleem and perhaps borrow.  Yeah I know it will be done using arrays 
which I do, but not my finest skill.  If I could just squeak in some 
'bourne' shell scripting but neah that's not a good solution.  Any idea 
what this function might be called?  I probably should check my friend 
Mootools.  What you suggest with the unique_row_id is a clue to get me 
going.  At this point this is in proposal status.  PHP only for me.
