Debugging 101: you're either not saving the value it into the database, 
or you're not retrieving the row from the database, or you're not 
setting the value in the HTML. So first read the output of the server, 
and maybe add a couple of print statements at strategic places, to 
figure out which it is. Then you can figure out why that step is not 
happening.
