Question

The HTML table below with mysql_query($sqlStr3) (the one with the word “Joined” in its row) does not echo if the result associated with mysql_query($sqlStr1) has a value of zero. This happens even if mysql_query($sqlStr3) returns a result.

In other words, if a given loginid has an entry in the MySQL table “login”, but not one in the MySQL table “submission”, then the table associated with mysql_query($sqlStr3) does not echo.

I don’t understand why the MySQL “submission” table would have any effect on mysql_query($sqlStr3), since the $sqlStr3 only deals with another MySQL table, called “login”, as seen below.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks in advance,

If I understand the problem correctly, you need to echo out $dt3->format('F j, Y') instead of $dt->format('F j, Y') in one of the last lines of the code you have.
