Here's a sample of the code I'm having touble with. I get nothing but a
blank page and my gas tank(brain) is running on fumes so to speak. It works
fine without the if..else but with it I get nothing. I'm just trying to see
if the variable exists, if it does I update the record, if it doesn't I
create a new record and write the ID to $TransID.

//write session data to transactions database
if ( isset( $TransID ) )
     $link5 = mysql_pconnect( "64.0.182.176", $user, $pass  );
     mysql_select_db( $db )
          or die ( "Couldn't open $db: ".mysql_error() );
     $query5 = mysql_query( "UPDATE transactions set CustomerID =
'$user_ID', SessionID = '$SID', Status = 'Incomplete' WHERE ID ='$TransID'")

     //write lane to database
     $link2 = mysql_pconnect( "64.0.182.176", $user, $pass  );
