please change $sql = "SELECT UserFirstName FROM RegisteredMembers WHERE UserID='$_POST[TXT_UserID]'"; to the proper syntax of $sql = "SELECT UserFirstName FROM RegisteredMembers WHERE UserID='" . $_POST['TXT_UserID'] . "' "; [snip] echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>a little about me:</td>"; echo "<td><input type = 'text' name = 'TXT_FurtherComments' value='FurtherComments field should appear here'></td>"; echo "<td>20 characters max</td>"; echo "</tr>"; [/snip] echo "<td><input type = 'text' name = 'TXT_FurtherComments' value='FurtherComments field should appear here'></td>"; should be echo "<td><input type = \"text\" name = \"TXT_FurtherComments\" value=\" $UserFurtherComments\"></td>"; -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
