Ok, thanks Larry. I'll focus on looking at/fixing that...

Hello, I'm going through the book, but decided to get cute and try multiple links instead of goodies and coffee...now i'm not at all impressed with that decision, cuteness is overrated. I've created the links: <li class="topmenu"><a href="/hciShop/Wigs.php" ">Farley Wig Super Collection</a></li> <li class="topmenu"><a href="/hciShop/IndianEX.php">Indian Wefts</a></li> <li class="topmenu"><a href="/hciShop/BrazillianEX.php">Brazillian Wefts</a></li> <li class="topmenu"><a href="/hciShop/VirginFU.php">Indian Fusions </a></li> <li class="topmenu"><a href="/hciShop/ClipOn.php""><span>Virgin Indian Clip-on Extensions</span></a></li> <li class="topmenu"><a href="/hciShop/TopClosures.php""><span>Closure top hair pieces<span></a></li> <li class="toplast"><a href="hciShop/Accessories.php">Accessories</a></li> and I've modified my .htaccess: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> Options -MultiViews RewriteEngine on # For the primary categories: RewriteRule ^hciShop/(Wigs|BrazillianEX|IndianEX|IndianFU|BrazillianFU|RemyFU|Accessories|TopClosures|ClipOn)/?$ hciShop.php?type=$1 # For specific products: RewriteRule ^hciBrowse/(Wigs|BrazillianEX|IndianEX|IndianFU|BrazillianFU|RemyFU|Accessories|TopClosures|ClipOn)/([A-Za-z\+\-]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ hciBrowse.php?type=$1&category=$2&id=$3 I then wrote my validation in hciShop.php: if (isset($_GET['type']) && ($_GET['type'] === 'Wigs')){ $page_title = 'HCI Human Hair Wigs Super Collection by Category'; $type ='Wigs'; } elseif (isset($_GET['type']) && ($_GET['type'] === 'BrazillianEX')){ $page_title = 'HCI Human Hair Brazillian Weft Extensions by Category'; $type ='BrazillianEX'; } elseif (isset($_GET['type']) && ($_GET['type'] === 'IndianEX')){ $page_title = 'HCI Human Hair Indian Weft Extensions by Category'; $type ='IndianEX'; } elseif (isset($_GET['type']) && ($_GET['type'] === 'IndianFU')){ $page_title = 'HCI Human Hair Indian Fusion Extensions by Category'; $type ='IndianFU'; } elseif (isset($_GET['type']) && ($_GET['type'] === 'TopClosures')){ $page_title = 'HCI Human Hair Closure Top Pieces by Category'; $type ='TopClosures'; } elseif (isset($_GET['type']) && ($_GET['type'] === 'ClipOn')){ $page_title = 'HCI Human Hair Clip-On Extensions by Category'; $type ='ClipOn'; } else if (isset($_GET['type']) && ($_GET['type'] === 'Accessories')){ $page_title = 'HCI Accessories by Category'; $type ='Accessories'; } Everything is in the db but not seperated out into seperate tables for each type, but I did give each category it's own id so my mySql prepared statement looks like this: if ($type =='Wigs') { $r = mysqli_query($dbc, 'SELECT * FROM productCategories WHERE productCategories.genCatId = 101 ORDER by Name'); } elseif ($type == 'BrazillianEX') { $r = mysqli_query($dbc, 'SELECT * FROM productCategories WHERE productCategories.genCatId = 105 ORDER by prodName'); } elseif ($type == 'IndianEX') { $r = mysqli_query($dbc, 'SELECT * FROM productCategories WHERE productCategories.genCatId = 106 ORDER by prodName'); } elseif ($type == 'IndianFU') { $r = mysqli_query($dbc, 'SELECT * FROM productCategories WHERE productCategories.genCatId = 103 ORDER by prodName'); } elseif ($type == 'Accessories') { $r = mysqli_query($dbc, 'SELECT * FROM productCategories WHERE productCategories.genCatId = 109 ORDER by prodName'); } elseif ($type == 'TopClosures') { $r = mysqli_query($dbc, 'SELECT * FROM productCategories WHERE productCategories.genCatId = 107 ORDER by prodName'); } elseif ($type == 'ClipOn') { $r = mysqli_query($dbc, 'SELECT * FROM productCategories WHERE productCategories.genCatId = 108 ORDER by prodName'); } ...and I get an error that says that type is undeclared... I've checked my permissions and all good, i've tried the statement and it returns the rows of info...it's just not going from browser to page. I've obviously done something wrong or it would work. Another set of eyes and a pointer in the right direction will help. Thanks in advanced for any help you can render!
