Hello, Can anyone from the lists please tell me why this bit of code is not picking up on the first record in the database? If the 'id' I'm looking for is '1' it doesn't populate the _SESSION variables. Any 'id' greater then '1' will populate the _SESSION variables. $q = "SELECT * FROM employee"; $r = mysql_query($q);

You're picking up first line here, but doing nothing with it.

$row = mysql_fetch_array($r);

So delete it or comment it out.

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($r)) { if ($employee == $row["id"]) { $_SESSION['dear'] = $row["last_name"]; $_SESSION['to_email'] = $row["email"]; } } Thanks, Roger -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
