I am just getting a blank page. Your help is greatly apprecieated. The function and query statement is: function getSpeed($val) { if($val != 'undefined') { switch ($val){ case "1": $post_tptest = "0-250kbps"; break; case "2": $post_tptest = "250-300kbps"; break; case "3": $post_tptest = "300-400kbps"; break; case "4": $post_tptest = "400-600kbps"; break; case "5": $post_tptest = "600kbps-3.8mbps"; break; default: $post_tptest = "Speed Undetected"; // or "0-250kbps" break; } } else { return("Error, no speed value set"); } } } $post_speed = getSpeed($post_tptest); //fetch the posts from the database $posts_sql = "SELECT posts.post_store, posts.post_content, posts.post_speed, posts.post_date, posts.post_by, users.user_id, users.user_name, users.first_name, users.last_name FROM posts LEFT JOIN users ON posts.post_by = users.user_id WHERE posts.post_store = " . mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']) . " ORDER BY posts.post_date DESC "; The call: while($posts_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($posts_result)) { echo '<tr class="topic-post"> <td class="user-post">' . $posts_row['first_name'] . ' ' . $posts_row['last_name'] . '<br/>' . date('m-d-Y h:iA', strtotime($posts_row['post_date'])) . '</td> <td class="post-content">' . getSpeed($posts_row['post_tptest']) . '<br/>' . htmlentities(stripslashes($posts_row['post_content'])) . '</td> </tr>'; } } Thank you! -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
