vichu.1985 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Dude, Are you sure that your update query is executing? I mean, is execution going inside the if "(!$error) {" condition? If its going then try [ echo $update; ] to check the query.

revraz Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 It must not be firing, because this would error due to the comma UPDATE users SET full_name = '$full_name', WHERE id=$id Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/222474-help-with-mysql-update-it-wont-update/#findComment-1150690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
