/* Select User's First Name From Table */ $sql = "SELECT UserFirstName FROM RegisteredMembers WHERE UserID='$_POST[TXT_UserID]'"; $result5 = mysql_query($sql) or die ("couldn't select UserID from database"); $num = mysql_num_rows($result); /* Welcome Registsred Member */ echo "welcome to the registered members area "; echo ("$result"); I know iit has the data in there as I echoed an entire error statement and the correct user was selected. I just need to echo a different field value from those alraedy selected previously in the page. -- ----------------------------- Michael Mason Arras People www.arraspeople.co.uk ----------------------------- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
