sql syntax problem

Recommended Posts

i'm trying to update a value in my table using the UPDATE command, but i'm getting the error

"You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''bob1234' at line 1"

<?php 
session_start();
include "includes/dbconnect.php";
forum_connect();

$b = time (); 
$d = date("Y-m-d",$b); 

$s = time (); 
$t =  date("G:i:s",$s);

$query = "UPDATE users SET last_visit_date = '$d', last_visit_time = '$t' WHERE username = '".$_SESSION['user'];
$result= mysql_query($query) or die("Select Error :" . mysql_error());

header("Location: logout2.php");
?>

i've included all the code so you can see what is going on. 

bob1234(from the error) is the value stored in the session.

 

Any help on this would be great

in this line

$query = "UPDATE users SET last_visit_date = '$d', last_visit_time = '$t' WHERE username = '".$_SESSION['user'];

 

you are missing a single quote at the end

 

should be

$query = "UPDATE users SET last_visit_date = '$d', last_visit_time = '$t' WHERE username = '".$_SESSION['user'] . " ' ";

  // spaces only for clarity
