OK, how about
:
<?php
mysql_connect(host,user,pass);
mysql_select_db(db);
$query = "SELECT ItemID, ItemSKU, ItemName FROM tbl";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
$ItemID = $row["ItemID"];
$ItemSKU = $row["ItemSKU"];
$ItemName = $row["ItemName"];
$NewItemSKU = str_replace("A","",$ItemName);
echo "<table>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>$ItemID</td>";
echo "<td>$ItemSKU</td>";
echo "<td>$ItemName</td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "</table>";
}
?>
Probably not the most accurate way of dealing with this but for the letter
A, it works. Hope this helps.

news:3f***********************@news.optusnet.com.a u... this is a question for someone smarter than me:
how would i go about removing just the first character in a column?
i.e: if i wanted to remove the 'A' in the ItemSKU column
ItemID ItemSKU ItemName
1 A09807969 Red T-Shirt
2 A09807970 Green T-Shirt
3 A09807975 Blue Skirt
4 A09807935 Grey Skivy
5 A09804567 Red Cap
6 A09803866 Blue Y-Fronts
