$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Volunteers WHERE Volunteers.eventID = " . $var);

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Members WHERE Members.pid = " . $temp);

I am also doing or die(mysql_error()) at the end of both statements if that matter. My problem is that the first statement executes perfectly but in that table I store an attribute called pid. So the second statement is supposed to take that and return the row where it equals that pid so I can get the name. I get an error that says unknown column in 'a2' in 'where clause' where a2 the pid attribute returned from the first statement. Thanks for any help!
