If I assume that you are looking for a salary that lies between the values stored in the start and end field? In this case your query won't work cos your greater and less thans are a little bit confused. This query (compare with yours above) should work: $sql = "SELECT * FROM federal-married WHERE start <= ".$_POST['salary']." AND end >= ".$_POST['salary']; Rory McKinley Nebula Solutions +27 82 857 2391 [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't" (Unknown)
