    1. CO`12/31/1992` is 12 divided by 31 divided by 1992... suggest you read a bit about dates in PHP

    2. COdo you want to include either (xor) PHP documents based upon the condition? If so, trying subbing the include in the if bodies, better, though, to just execute functionality from those files rather than include them based upon evaluation of an if.

    3. COAnd `isset ($_POST['dob'] )> 12/31/1992` won't (strictly speaking) work either. `isset()` returns a boolean so your comparison doesn't make sense. Also I'm currently wondering where you defined your `if/else` block…in `action.php`?

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.
