[SOLVED] Syntax Error During SQL Update

[usadarts]

Receiving the following error:

 

I cannot update database: "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 'WHERE `rrn` =1' at line 1

 

$sql = "UPDATE `homepage` SET `date` = $date, `comments` = $newcomments WHERE `rrn` =1";

[btherl]

$date_sql = "'" . mysql_real_escape_string($date) . "'";
$newcomments_sql = "'" . mysql_real_escape_string($newcomments) . "'";
$sql = "UPDATE `homepage` SET `date` = $date_sql, `comments` = $newcomments_sql WHERE `rrn` =1";

 

If you've already escaped your strings, you can skip that.  But you need the single quotes around strings.

[Fadion]

$sql = "UPDATE homepage SET date='$date', comments='$newcomments' WHERE rrn='1'";

 

U dont need smart quotes for tables names or columns, but u need single quotes for values.

WHERE `rrn` ='1'

Thank you all

Note that you should not add quotes around 1 if rrn is an integer.
