Try:

$query4 = "select cccb.cccb_name as cccb, CONCAT(member_fname,'
',member_lname) as member from member_cccb_lnk join member on
(member.member_no = member_cccb_lnk.member_no) join cccb on
member_cccb_lnk.cccb_id = cccb.cccb_id and cccb.cccb_id = '$cccb_id'
order by member";

If $cccb_id has a value in it it will show up in the output. Notice I
removed the single quotes from around cccb and member as they are not
needed. Use backticks (`) if you must. Always remember, to include
variables whithin strings the entire string must be enclosed in double
quotes or the variables won't get parsed.
