knowram Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I have a page with several text boxes and one text area. For some reason when I submit the information the first time using an insert into statement everything works fine. If I try to edit the info and submit it again with an update statement I get a syntax error. Not really sure what the problem is. here is the code that I am working with insert statement $query = "INSERT INTO aDeviceInfo( nDeviceID, Contract_Number, Contract_Type, Bill_To_Name, Item_Start_Date, Item_End_Date, Item_Status, Item_Info) values( '$_SESSION[nDeviceID]', '$_SESSION[Contract_Number]', '$_SESSION[Contract_Type]', '$_SESSION[bill_To_Name]', '$_SESSION[item_Start_Date]', '$_SESSION[item_End_Date]', '$_SESSION[item_Status]', '$_SESSION[item_Info]')"; Mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error()); update statement $query = "UPDATE `aDeviceInfo` SET `Contract_Number` = '$_SESSION[Contract_Number]', `Contract_Type` = '$_SESSION[Contract_Type]', `Bill_To_Name` = '$_SESSION[bill_To_Name]', `Item_Start_Date` = '$_SESSION[item_Start_Date]', `item_End_Date` = '$_SESSION[item_End_Date]' `Item_Status` = '$_SESSION[item_Status]', `Item_Info` = '$_SESSION[item_Info]' WHERE `nDeviceID` = '$_SESSION[nDeviceID]';"; Mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error()); this is the error that I am getting 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 'Item_Status` = 'Yes', `Item_Info` = 'NAME: "2821 chassis", DESCR:' at line 7 and here is the text in the text box that I am trying to update. it is the same as what I inserted the first time around NAME: "2821 chassis", DESCR: "2821 chassis, Hw Serial#: FTX108C37H, Hw Revision: 52.57" PID: CISCO2821 , VID: V02 , SN: FTX100C37H NAME: "Two port T1 voice interface daughtercard", DESCR: "Two port T1 voice interface daughtercard" PID: VWIC-2MFT-T1= , VID: 1.0, SN: 3427362 NAME: "One port T1 voice interface daughtercard", DESCR: "One port T1 voice interface daughtercard" PID: VWIC-1MFT-T1= , VID: 1.0, SN: 3424041 NAME: "WAN Interface Card - DSU/CSU T1 Fractional (V2)", DESCR: "WAN Interface Card - DSU/CSU T1 Fractional (V2)" PID: , VID: 1.2, SN: FOC1001AMB NAME: "PVDMII DSP SIMM with Two DSPs", DESCR: "PVDMII DSP SIMM with Two DSPs" PID: PVDM2-32 , VID: NA , SN: FOC0063H8T NAME: "PVDMII DSP SIMM with Two DSPs", DESCR: "PVDMII DSP SIMM with Two DSPs" PID: PVDM2-32 , VID: NA , SN: FOC1004175 I hope someone has an idea because i am lost. thanks for any help.
