    <p><strong>Edited answer to reflect discoveries found in comment thread below for future readers</strong></p> <p>In your PHP files you need to update </p> <pre><code>$_POST[id] </code></pre> <p>to be </p> <pre><code>$_POST['id'] </code></pre> <p>PHP will not now what id is, and therefor will evaluate to false, causing your script to exit, and fall into the loop you are describing.</p> <p>This is also the case when you are using your $_SESSION array</p> <pre><code>$_SESSION[valid] </code></pre> <p>should be</p> <pre><code>$_SESSION['valid'] </code></pre> <p>$_SESSION, $_POST, $_GET, $_REQUEST, etc are all associative arrays, in order to refer to any of their contents you need to specify the string that refers to the key they are located in. </p> <p>Ok, in your if statement</p> <pre><code>if (!$_POST['id']) { header( "Location: pick_modcontact.php"); exit; } else { session_start(); } if ($_SESSION['valid'] != "yes") { header( "Location: pick_modcontact.php"); exit; } </code></pre> <p>You are checking to see if $_SESSION['valid'] does not equal yes, this will evaluate to true because you never set $_SESSION['valid'] = "yes" so it will always go back to pick_modcontact.php here.</p> <p>Try updating it to be </p> <pre><code>if (!$_POST['id']) { header( "Location: pick_modcontact.php"); exit; } else { session_start(); // let the script know that this is a valid contact $_SESSION['valid'] = 'yes'; } if ($_SESSION['valid'] != "yes") { header( "Location: pick_modcontact.php"); exit; } </code></pre> <p>Also</p> <pre><code>$option_block .= "&lt;option value\"$id\"&gt;$f_name, $l_name&lt;/option&gt;"; </code></pre> <p>should be (you're misssing an equals sign) which means that on submit, it wont know the value of 'id'</p> <pre><code>$option_block .= "&lt;option value=\"$id\"&gt;$f_name, $l_name&lt;/option&gt;"; </code></pre>

    1. COThanks for the suggestion I wont change that bit as I am working off an example from a php book, the less it differes from the example the easier it will be for me to understand. Thanks!

    2. COSo you've copied the example entirely.. this would assume there are no code errors (my other suggestion would be to make sure you are creating a session using session_start()) so are you sure that your database settings are correct? Can you create a simple script to output the validity of your db connection - I see that you have different db credentials in two scripts.. admin/user and admin_cantsayno/cantsayno maybe that is your issue?

Querying!

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).
