Need a bit of help

I've just started PHP/MySQL and I'm having a bit of trouble with the site I'm making.

This certain page shows if a link is validated, pending or deleted.

People submit the ID into the form and it displays one of the above.

The problem is it's just showing nothing when I enter a test id.

The part of the script is

           
			<form action='<?php echo "$self?action=submit"; ?>' method='post'>
			<input name='statusid' type='text' size="10" maxlength='20'><br />
			<input type='Submit' name='submit' value='Check Status'>
			</form>
           <?php
           if(isset($_POST['submit']))

           {
				
           $statusid = mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($_POST['statusid']));
			
           $status = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT is_validated FROM links WHERE id = '$statusid'"));
			
           $error_msg = array();
			
           if(empty($statusid))
           {
           $error_msg[] = "Please insert a ID!<br />";
           }
           if(count($errors) > 0)
           {
           echo "<strong>ERROR:</strong><br>";
           echo "$error_msg";
           }

           if(($status) == "0") 
           {
	       echo "Unverified";
           }
           elseif(($status) == "1") 
           {
           echo "Verified";
           }
           elseif(($status) == "2")
           {
           echo "Deleted";
           }
           }
           ?>

Code (markup):

It is already connected to to the db from a small part of the script above.

It's probably a stupid error somewhere but like I said, I'm new

 

<br /> ?????

Could that be an error....I don't see a mySql connection part either {atleast I think so}

 

I don't quite get what you mean by the <br /> being an error.

The mysql connection is further up the page, I havn't put it on here.

 

this part :

 if(($status) == "0") 
           {
	       echo "Unverified";
           }
           elseif(($status) == "1") 
           {
           echo "Verified";
           }
           elseif(($status) == "2")
           {
           echo "Deleted";
           }
           }

Code (markup):

should have $status["is_validated"] not just $status
edit : like :

 if($status["is_validated"]   == 0) 
           {
	       echo "Unverified";
           }
           elseif($status["is_validated"]  == 1) 
           {
           echo "Verified";
           }
           elseif($status["is_validated"]  == 2)
           {
           echo "Deleted";
           }
           }

Code (markup):

You also have other errors in the script (echo the array?)
