This may be a dumb question, but did you actually fetch the db query's results 
and put them in $row before trying to use $row?  In MySQL you could do 
something like:

$query = "select * from my_table";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);  //this statement would need to be inside of 
a loop if there is more than one result
