Jason,
Is there a way to incorporate from my original code :$row_rsUser['firstName'] as the fallback init if BOTH the validated field is empty AND the session var is empty. This occurs when the user comes to the checkout form for the first time after logging in to his/her account.
The rsUser value populates the field if the user is logged into their account and has previously saved their name to his/her profile.
Not sure how to pull all three options in.
