Is there a feature in mysql or a function in php that will allow me to auto adjust everything to the column to the left? Basically I am allowing the user to delete information out of there table but the way the information is set up is in such a way that there can only be null space at n+1 places in my row. So I need to be able to let the user delete something probably located in the middle of the row and then I will need to adjust all the information located to the right of that empty field one column left. Thereby eliminating an empty column in my row. I think that I will just have to perform this operation by manipulating the information in my database to find the null space and then pull all the information out after that place then reinsert it starting at the null space. But if there is an simpler solution I would love to here about it.Thanks

    I ended up writing some php code that checked where the row had a null space and then pull all the data out of the row and reinsert the data into the row. I really dont like that idea but since I dont have anything better I just did that. And it works that is what is important.
