mfleming Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Hi. I'm trying to use UPDATE to update my datebase. When I run the code inside mysql phpadmin it works fine. But when I try and run something similiar from my php page its not updating. UPDATE user SET password='newpass', verified='0', random='asldk445435' WHERE email='[email protected]' This is the section that isn't working: // Thank you Page //generate new random number for activation process $randomcode = md5(rand(23456789,987654321)); // generate a new random password $newtemppass = createRandomPassword(); // encrypes new password $newtemppass = md5(rand(23456789,987654321)); $random = $randomcode; $verified = "0"; // Setup query to update datebase $query = "UPDATE {$usertable} SET password='$newtemppass', verified='$verified', random='$random' WHERE email='[email protected]' "; echo "<p>--------------</p>"; echo "<p>--------------</p>"; echo $newtemppass .' '.'This is your new password'; echo "<p>--------------</p>"; echo $verified .' '.'You are no longer verfied'; echo "<p>--------------</p>"; echo $random .'

mfleming Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 WOW. It helps if i put in mysql_query()! $query = "UPDATE {$usertable} SET password='$newtemppass', verified='$verified', random='$random' WHERE email='[email protected]' "; mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_query()); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/216293-php-update-mysql-not-updateing-database/#findComment-1124050 Share on other sites More sharing options...
