Thanks for your attempted help, but I finally got the "pro" to correct the problem. I still plan on studying this summer.  I have Ulman's PHP and MySQL book. What would you suggest for a novice whose primary skills are Visual Basic and Microsoft Access??? Thanks again....

[quote author=fenway link=topic=112238.msg552908#msg552908 date=1173977882] So you're saying that it doesn't make it into the $POST hash? [/quote] Sorry to have not replied earlier, but I had rotator cuff surgery and was unable to do very much for a while. I am sorry, but I am a novice trying to patch some work by the "pro" who is no longer available. I plan to take some time this summer (since I will not be teaching) to become more proficient in php, but the term $POST hash is foreign to me. All I can say is that when I attempt to post to the table, the $Gender variable is not being recorded (posted) into that table. I think that is what you mean, but I apologize in advance if it is not. And FYI, I have verified that the variable is properly defined in the table, and it has the same form as it does and is being captured in the Gender table. Rodger

[quote author=fenway link=topic=112238.msg552764#msg552764 date=1173968423] I don't know what you mean by "captured in the table". [/quote] I wish to record/store the global variable in the table, or insert the session variable into the table. Sorry, I am a novice in using php and MySQL so my terminology may be a bit off. My primary programmer on the research project is swamped, and I am trying to fix the problem myself. Thanks in advance for your assistance, Rodger

[quote author=fenway link=topic=112238.msg455934#msg455934 date=1161548455] Just echo & set the value attribute of your hidden input field... but I don't actually see $idvar anywhere. [/quote] I have an issue very similar to CGRay, and tried echoing without any luck. I will leave out the majority of the code, and get to the insert code---but I have verified that the session variable $Gender is reaching this page. <input type="hidden" name="table" value="results_fin" /> <input type="hidden" name="Gender" value="<? echo "$Gender"; ?>" /> And Gender is a properly formatted field in results_fin. But the variable is not being captured in the table. Any other thoughts, or what am I screwing up. Thanks
