[SOLVED] parse error in update query

[lilwing]

This is the first time I have ever used the update query. I am not having any luck figuring it out. Please post if you find my mistake,

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in
[bleeped] on line 46

 

here is the location of the problem:

 

$sql = "UPDATE $table
SET pagecontent = $_POST['T'] 
WHERE id = $_POST['id2']";

It is putting the apostraphes in there as literals. Use,

$sql = "UPDATE $table
SET pagecontent = ".$_POST['T']." 
WHERE id = ".$_POST['id2'];

try

echo $sql = "UPDATE $table
SET pagecontent = '".$_POST['T']. 
"' WHERE id = ".$_POST['id2'];
