This is a search option for a gameID. The SQL is correct as I have tested that in Phpmyadmin. But I'm having trouble displaying the results how I want them to. Currently this code displays the first query exactly how I need them too but every other text box tends to have a '>' in the box instead of the data i need it to display.
I don't think the array code section is correct but I'm having trouble finding a solution as I can't have multiple params in the first array. I've tried for the past few hours to resolve this but with no luck. Is it possible to add many IF statements within the main IF statement to output each IF separately as an array? Any help or suggested reading will be very much appreciated.

$category = $_POST ['category'];
$criteria = $_POST ['criteria'];
