    <p>I am trying to get the row queried in preceding code to echo inside of this if conditional if the user clicks the modify video link. However, when I echo the $video variable directly above the if ($videoEdit) { conditional, it displays on page, but if I try to echo it inside the if ($videoEdit) { conditional, it will not output for some reason. I'm confused. Here is my code (query not included, but echo $video does output proper results before conditional)</p> <p>Addition:::</p> <pre><code>require ('../mysql_connect.php'); // Connect to DB // Handle Video Edit if ($_GET['video'] == "EDIT") { $videoEdit = TRUE; } $query = "SELECT inventory.inv_key, inventory.mdl_key, inventory.serial, inventory.date_aquired, inventory.location, inventory.price, model.mdl_key, model.man_key, model.cls_key, model.sub_cls_key, model.model, model.video, model.picture, model.pdf, subclass.sub_cls_key, subclass.subclass, class.cls_key, class.class, manufacturer.man_key, manufacturer.manufacturer FROM inventory, manufacturer, model, class, subclass WHERE inventory.mdl_key='$_GET[mdl_key]' AND model.mdl_key='$_GET[mdl_key]' AND class.cls_key='$_GET[cls_key]' AND subclass.sub_cls_key='$_GET[sub_cls_key]' AND manufacturer.man_key='$_GET[man_key]' AND manufacturer=manufacturer.manufacturer AND class=class.class AND subclass=subclass.subclass"; $result = @mysql_query ($query); // Run the query while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { $model = $row['model']; $mdl_key = $row['mdl_key']; $video = $row['video']; $picture = $row['picture']; $pdf = $row['pdf']; $description = $row['description']; $manufacturer = $row['manufacturer']; $man_key = $row['man_key']; } </code></pre> <p>Addition Above:::: </p> <pre><code>if ($_GET['video'] == 'EDIT') { $videoEdit = TRUE; } while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $video = $row['video']; } if ($videoEdit) { // &lt;-- boolean comparison echo '&lt;form action="edit_media.php" method="post"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Video Link: &lt;input type="text" name="serial" size="25" maxlength="100" value='; if (isset($video)) echo $video; } echo ' /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Video" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="TRUE" /&gt; &lt;/form&gt;'; } </code></pre> <p>Addition:: this is, in my code, directly below the above code</p> <pre><code>if ($video != "") { echo '&lt;iframe width="420" height="315" src=' . $video . ' frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt; | &lt;a href=edit_media.php?video=EDIT&amp;mdl_key=' . $mdl_key . '&amp;man_key=' . $man_key .

    1. COHi! Just wanted to let you know that you should stop using `mysql_` functions to write new code as they are [being deprecated](http://www.deprecatedphp.com/mysql). Use `mysqli_` or `PDO` functions instead. Have an outstanding day

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
