Every single example on the internet is for register_globals = on.

That's no excuse... and you're wrong.

I am very aware of the security risk of it.

Ok... and magic_quotes? You don't seem to be escaping your data that
goes into the query either. You don't seem very "aware of the security
risk".

Get it working and then change it back. There is plenty of literature on
how
to edit existing working code once you disable it.

Why do it twice? Why risk forgetting something after the fact? Coding
securely requires that you practice coding securely and not just hope
you can apply a coat of armorall afterwards.

Just working with the tools I have!

The same tools I have, if not then you have more.

As far as _tbl instead of table, I picked that one up in the military,
just
a preference.

As far as the brackets, I tried with or without;
price_range='[$select1]'";
price_range='$select1'";
price_range=select1";

All the same miserable error!

Any suggestions on how to get select1 -> price_range= would truly
be appreciated, and if your suggestion it more secure than what I am
working
with. This would be the icing on the cake!

I gave you an example at the bottom of my post. Are you passing the
$query string directly to the mysql_query() function? Maybe do the
following just before running the query:

echo $query."\n";

Then check it to see that it's what you expect.

Cheers,
Rob.
