You can build a bunch of if statements or your switch()...and I'm not sure why you would keep creating variables with the same value. ;-) Example: $Emp_Status_Rqmt = $row["Emp_Status_Rqmt"]; switch ($Emp_Status_Rqmt) { case "Permanent": $UserStatus = "Permanent"; break; case "Contractor": $UserStatus = "Contractor"; break; default: $UserStatus = "Flexible"; } -Robby -- /*************************************** * Robby Russell | Owner.Developer.Geek * PLANET ARGON | www.planetargon.com * Portland, OR | robby@planetargon.com * 503.351.4730 | blog.planetargon.com * PHP/PostgreSQL Hosting & Development ****************************************/
