Scott, where are your variables being set? and are you sure the db values are not empty/null?

if ($firstname != "") { $mainNameLine = "$firstname $maidenname $lastname ($username)"; $username = $firstname; } else { $mainNameLine = $username; $maidenname; $lastname; }

I always echo inline vars like this (be it the "right way" or "another way", it's my way ;)

$mainNameLine = $username.' '.$maidenname.' '.$lastname;

Try commenting out each var and echo each var at a time and see which ones work and which don't. Maybe even use some isset catching to see which ones are empty. Like so.

//test code
if(isset($username))
echo ' username:'.$username;
else
echo ' username is empty';
if(isset($firstname))
echo ' firstname:'.$firstname;
else
echo ' Firstname is empty';
if(isset($maidenname))
echo ' maidenname:'.$maidenname;
else
echo ' maidenname is empty';
