Barry,
I can't see where you've created $topictest.
Maybe, just before you define $queyr2, you should have the line
$topictest = $row[ "topcitext"];
I also think xp_stories_topicid should be xp_stories.topicid
Try echo 'ing $query2 and see what is printed.
Hope this helps, and that I've not missed something else.
