okay... good idea and all, but what does that do as far as resolving my actual problem? Thanks anyway I just hope another person actually addresses what I am trying to do...

Okay... so I am loading some content into my page from the database... I know how to do this normally... but here is the sticking point... I want to load the content from one of 5 options (so there are multiple pages with 5 different options for body copy) depending on what the value of the cookie is... Here is what I tried, but it did not work: //Determin which page ID to use in our query ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- if (!$_GET['pid']){ $pageid = '1'; } else { $pageid = $_GET['pid']; } //Query the Main Content and Titles for the proper page --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $sqlCommand="SELECT process_mainContent_vers1, process_mainContent_vers2, process_mainContent_vers3, process_mainContent_vers4, process_mainContent_vers5, process_pagetitle FROM pages_process WHERE process_id='$pageid' LIMIT 1"; $query=mysqli_query($myConnection, $sqlCommand) or die (mysql_error()); $body = ''; $title = ''; while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query)) { if (isset($_COOKIE['career_status'])) { $carreerStatus = ($_COOKIE['career_status']); if ($carreerStatus=="Starting Residency/Graduating Medical School") $body = $row["process_mainContent_vers1"]; if ($carreerStatus=="Ending Residency/Starting Fellowship") $body = $row["process_mainContent_vers2"]; if ($carreerStatus=="Practicing Physician") $body = $row["process_mainContent_vers3"]; if ($carreerStatus=="Practicing Physician") $body = $row["process_mainContent_vers4"]; if ($carreerStatus=="Hospital/Practice Administrator") $body = $row["process_mainContent_vers5"]; } else { $carreerStatus = ($_SESSION['career_status']); if ($carreerStatus=="Starting Residency/Graduating Medical School") $body = $row["process_mainContent_vers1"]; if ($carreerStatus=="Ending Residency/Starting Fellowship") $body = $row["process_mainContent_vers2"]; if ($carreerStatus=="Practicing Physician") $body = $row["process_mainContent_vers3"]; if ($carreerStatus=="Practicing Physician") $body = $row["process_mainContent_vers4"]; if ($carreerStatus=="Hospital/Practice Administrator") $body = $row["process_mainContent_vers5"]; } $title = $row["process_pagetitle"]; } mysqli_free_result($query); //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I need help with this ASAP!!! I pretty sure my boss will fire me if I can not figure this out tonight... PLEASE HELP! I am a graphic designer and not a programmer... PLEASE HELP ME!!! My form will not display the echoed message ("Please fill in all required (*) feilds", "Maximum length for username is 25 characters", etc.) when I hit submit... It wouldn't even show the variables when I tried to just have the form only echo the various strings... nothing appeared... the only way I could get the string values to appear was through a array like this: if(is_array($_POST)){ echo '<pre>'; print_r($_POST); echo '</pre>'; } ^^This returned the data fine... but when I try to echo on particular string and not using the array, nothing appears... This is crucial as this is how the custom error messages are displayed...
