$esubmit = $_POST['esubmit'];
if(isset($esubmit)){
mysql_query("UPDATE shouts SET post='$epost', name='$ename' WHERE zid=$id");
echo"Edit Successfully";

Syntax error that jumps out at me is at this line

[code=php:0]if($name|$post == ""){[/code]

Try changing it to

[code=php:0]if($name == "" || $post == ""){[/code]

does that help?
