I have a strange, but probably easy to fix problem.  I need to check to see 
if something is in a table...that part is easy, but if the table is empty, 
it doesn't go through my "while" statement so that I can create something 
in it.  I am sure that if there was something in the table, that I would 
not be having this problem.  Below is my code.

-----------
        $searchStmt = "SELECT * from division1rank";

        $stmt= substr($searchStmt, 0, strlen($searchStmt)) ;

        // Connect to the Database
        if (!($link=mysql_pconnect($hostName, $userName, $password))) {
           DisplayErrMsg(sprintf("error connecting to host %s, by user %s",
                                     $hostName, $userName)) ;
           exit() ;
        }

        // Select the Database
        if (!mysql_select_db($databaseName, $link)) {
           DisplayErrMsg(sprintf("Error in selecting %s database", $databaseName)) ;
           DisplayErrMsg(sprintf("error:%d %s", mysql_errno($link), 
mysql_error($link))) ;
           exit() ;
        }

        // Execute the Statement
        if (!($result =mysql_query($stmt, $link))) {
           DisplayErrMsg(sprintf("Error in executing %s stmt", $stmt)) ;
           DisplayErrMsg(sprintf("error:%d %s", mysql_errno($link), 
mysql_error($link))) ;
           exit() ;
        }

        while (($row = mysql_fetch_object($result))){
                if($row->team_id == "$team_id"){
                        echo "It is in there";
                }else{
                        echo "We will need to add it to the table";
                }
        }
}
