Hmm, I trried your syntax and same problem. I tried it exactly like this: (though i'd like to stress that it worked with the code labeled ORIGINAL below) <?php $connection = mysql_connect("********","*****","*********") or die("Couldn't make connection...because I hate you."); $db = mysql_select_db("national", $connection) or die("Couldn't select database."); $sql = "SELECT * FROM accessnums WHERE areacode='{$_POST['areacode']}' and city='{$_POST['cityselected']}' ORDER BY network LIMIT 1"; // ORIGINAL $sql = "SELECT * FROM accessnums WHERE areacode='$_POST[areacode]' and city='$_POST[cityselected]' ORDER BY network LIMIT 1"; // WORKS just needs tweaking: SELECT * FROM accessnums WHERE areacode="318" and city="monroe" ORDER BY network LIMIT 1; $sql_result = mysql_query($sql,$connection) or die("Couldn't execute query."); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)) { $network = $row["network"]; $areacode = $row["areacode"]; $cityselected = $row["cityselected"]; } if ($network == 1): echo "<p>This customer is on network: <font size=\"4\">A</font>.
