Ah, gotcha. Yes, each user will only have 1 access level that can be easily changed based on needs. So, I shall correct this with a JOIN and notate this thread as solved, thanks!

Thanks for anyone that looked at this thread. After playing around with the code off and on, I was able to find a way to make them interchangeable with this: <?php $query = "SELECT users.username, users.access_level, users_access_level.access_name ". "FROM users LEFT JOIN users_access_level ". "ON users.access_level = users_access_level.access_level"; $result=mysqli_query($db,$query); while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) { echo "<tr><td>"; echo $row['username']; echo "</td><td class='center'>"; echo $row['access_name']; } ?> If there is a better way to do this, I'd appreciate the guidance, but I do have a separate question. The reason I have it setup like this is I want to make a <select></select> option, that once the query is run, will automatically make the user's "access_name" the "selected" option by default when the page loads. I want to make it so I can change the user's access_level on the fly with a quick SQL update/delete query. Thanks again!

This portion is kind of stumping me. Basically, I have a two tables in this DB: users and users_access_level (Separated for DB normalization) users: id / username / password / realname / access_level users_access_level: access_level / access_name What I'm trying to do, is echo the data onto an HTML table that displays users.username in one table data and then uses the users.access_level to find users_access_level.access_name and echo into the following table data, I would prefer not to use multiple queries if possible or nested queries. Example row for users: 1234 / tmac / password / tmac / 99 Example row for users_access_level: 99 / Admin Using the examples above, I would want the output to appear as such: Username:Access Name: TmacAdmin I am not 100% sure where to start with this, but I pick up quickly, I just need a nudge in the right direction. The code I attempted to create just shows my lack of knowledge of joining tables, but I'll post it if you want to see that I did at least make an effort to code this myself. Thanks for reading!
