john6384 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I am trying to run this query although I get this error: //Assign the query $query = "UPDATE webusers SET Name='$name' Initials='$initials' Pass='$password' Email='$email' WHERE ID=$ID"; //Execute query $result = mysql_query($query); if(!$result){ die("Could not update user on database: <br />".mysql_error()); } Could not update user on 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 '(ID=11 Name='Doug' Initials='DB' Pass='pass' Email='doug@aol.com') WHERE ID=11' at line 1 The syntax looks fine. Please help and give reasons for this. Cheers Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/74791-solved-mysql-update-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpic Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I had the same problem. Try this: $query = "UPDATE webusers SET `Name`='$name' `Initials`='$initials' `Pass`='$password' `Email`='$email' WHERE `ID`=$ID"; Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/74791-solved-mysql-update-problem/#findComment-378144 Share on other sites More sharing options...

djpic Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Need to use commas as well. $query = "UPDATE webusers SET `Name`='$name', `Initials`='$initials', `Pass`='$password', `Email`='$email' WHERE `ID`=$ID"; Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/74791-solved-mysql-update-problem/#findComment-378193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
