Hi, I'm not sure if I understood you correctly, but from what I understand, once I select a project category like "Pre-Approved", I need to be able to iterate through all the records that match that condition.
So why not just have a single variable $result for all conditions. Since only one condition is ever going to be true, and if you are gonna exit the switch() after fetching the value from the database, you may just use $result for all conditions. If that is not what you meant, why not use an array such as $result[0] = mysql_query($sql); $result[1] = mysql_query($sql2); and so on.... and store an index to the query you wanted... HTH.
