Hello;

I am current at the end of chapter four working on pages 130 - 132 in the Try it out sections titled 'Querying for the Reviews' and 'Displaying the Reviews' and I am having a problem. Followiing the directions given on these pages I modified my movie_details.php page accordingly but at the end when I load Table3.php into my browser, I can click on the link for each of the movies but when the movie details page comes up for each movie, all I get is the information for each movie showing it health and with the title underlined on the screen. However, I can't click on the underlined title to get the movie reviews to show for each page. I have typed this code in twice now and reviewed what I typed in at least 3 times and can not find any errors in my code that would be causing this to happen. Can someone take a look at my code below and tell me if and where I may have made an error and what I need to do to correct it so I can see the movie reviews? BTW, I was very careful not to leave any white space after the variables.

Thanks!

Chris
