the syntax for that looks fine to me.... what you might want to try doing is something like this if( isset( $_POST['CompanyName'] ) ) { $query_company_listing = "SELECT CompanyID, CompanyName, CompanyOrDepartment, BillingAddress, City, PostalCode, PhoneNumber FROM company WHERE company.CompanyName=".$_POST['CompanyName']." ORDER BY CompanyName ASC"; } else { $query_company_listing = "SELECT CompanyID, CompanyName, CompanyOrDepartment, BillingAddress, City, PostalCode, PhoneNumber FROM company ORDER BY CompanyName ASC"; } Notice that the first one grabs the company names with the WHERE clause only if the $_POST['CompanyName'] is set and not a null value, i think the problem is that you are trying to use a variable that is not set yet and your SQL evaluates to something like this $query_company_listing = "SELECT CompanyID, CompanyName, CompanyOrDepartment, BillingAddress, City, PostalCode, PhoneNumber FROM company WHERE company.CompanyName= ORDER BY CompanyName ASC"; Let me know if this is your problem or not :D -- Joseph Crawford Jr. Codebowl Solutions codebowl@gmail.com
