Okay, I thought this was VERY simple, but I cannot wrap my mind around what I am doing wrong. echo $_POST['max_id']; *The echo returns the correct result *if($_POST['max_id'] ='') { *This is suppose to run the below query if $_POST['max_id'] is not blank* $max_id = $_POST['max_id']; *Sets my POST value to a variable* $info = "SELECT * FROM payment_request WHERE id = '$max_id'"; *Selects record from my database by the matching ID's* $result_info = mssql_query($info) or die(mssql_error()); *Puts the query results into a variable* $row_info = ifx_fetch_row($result_info); *Makes a row in an array for all the returned fields from my query* $my_info = $row_info['my_value']; <input type="Text" value="<?php echo $my_info; ?>" size="20" maxlength="16" name="my_value"> *However, this box returns no data.* I should be using if($_POST['max_id'] ='') { and notif($_POST['max_id'] !=='') { correct? Since it is a comparative function just the = should be correct.
