[ic] $Tag->data in a UserTag

[Brent Kelly]

Hmm if what you say is accurate then the only thing it could be is
that your $variable is not set to what you are expecting it to be.

I'd try either ::logError( "my var is $variable") & check your
error.log or to be sure of its value try:

my $var = '00123';
my $new_var = $::Tag->data( { table => 'mytable', field => 'myfield',
key => $var } );

If that works then try log var at a number of places throughout the
page & see whats happening to it because if its working when
hardcoded then i'll be a silly mistake most likely.

That's actually not working either.  If I hard-code the key value
like
the rest of the parameters it works, but not if I try to use a
$variable.
