Hi,
Have a try with something like this. Not tested and it's Friday ;o)
$connid = ifx_connect(blah,blah,blah) or
die("An error occurred connecting to database");
$Query = "SELECT tracknum,orderdate,ordertotal,status,shipdate ".
"FROM orders ".
"WHERE tracknum = '$trknum' ";
$rid = ifx_query($Query, $connid, IFX_SCROLL) or
die("An error occurred querying database");
$row = ifx_fetch_row($rid, "NEXT");
$orderdate = $row['orderdate'];
$Query = "SELECT stuff ".
"FROM somewhere ".
"WHERE orderdate = '$orderdate' ";
$rid = ifx_query($Query, $connid, IFX_SCROLL) or
die("An error occurred querying database");
@ifx_htmltbl_result($rid,"border=1");
ifx_free_result ($rid);
ifx_close($connid);
Regards,
- Paul -
