Hi, This: if (isset($_GET['r']) &&
     !empty($_GET['r']) &&
     ($r = intval($_GET['r'])) ){
$r = "{$_GET['r']}"; //Set the variable $r to mean the category number $fields = '*'; $sort = "ORDER BY cv.sort"; } else { $where = ''; $fields = 'cv.cv_id,cv.category,dates,cv.job_title,cv.company,cv.job,cv.sort, jobcat.category'; $sort = "ORDER BY cv.sort"; } //Make the sql based on the joining of the table and intersection table $sql = " SELECT cv.cv_id,cv.category,dates,cv.job_title,cv.company,cv.job,cv.sort,jobcat.category FROM cv, cvjobcats, jobcat WHERE cvjobcats.cv_id=cv.cv_id AND cvjobcats.jobcat_id = $r AND jobcat.jobcat_id=cvjobcats.jobcat_id"; Works whenever there is an ?r= specified. When there is no r specified it chokes on WHERE cvjobcats.cv_id=cv.cv_id AND cvjobcats.jobcat_id = $r AND jobcat.jobcat_id=cvjobcats.jobcat_id"; because there's no value to $r. it also opens me up to allowing anyone to state *anything* after the ?. So can I make an else statement which will say that if there's no r= or a wrong r= or even no ? at all then it should print a menu to $r's which actually exist in the database? How? Thanks in advance!!!
