Thanks for the reply Ajax.
I found my issue... during tonight's session I had installed SQLyog and when I added the user_type field it set (I didn't unset) the type to NULL.... Soo after about 3 hours of racking my brain it was because of NULL...
Thanks again CroNiX and Ajax. I think I have it working for now. I'm gonna get some sleep.
