Hi Guys,

Trying to write a script that will GET unique rows (story_id’s) from a MYSQL database and post them back on the below page where I can UPDATE them, but it just seems to do nothing and I get an error on this line:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{', expecting '(' in /home/sleaz/public_html/greenock/news/edit.php on line 14

[b] $result = mysql_query("Update table set section='$section', added_by='$added_by', headline='$headline', byline_name='$byline_name', appeared='$appeared', opening='$opening', body_text='$body_text', picture='$picture', pic_caption='$pic_caption', pic_ref='$pic_ref', notes='$notes' where story_id=".$_GET['story_id']); [/b]

Can someone please explain where I have gone wrong in how I achieve the above?

Thanks

[code]
<?php

// Set the variables for access;
include("**************");

// Update Query
if
{
        $result = mysql_query("Update cms_stories set section='$section', added_by='$added_by', headline='$headline', byline_name='$byline_name', appeared='$appeared', opening='$opening', body_text='$body_text', picture='$picture', pic_caption='$pic_caption', pic_ref='$pic_ref', notes='$notes' where story_id=".$_GET['story_id']);
        $msg = "The Story record has been updated in the database - Please Click <a href=\"menu.php\">Here</a> to return to the main menu";
}

// Get Story ID From Database
if(isset($_GET['story_id']))
{
$result = mysql_db_query("Select * From table where story_id=".$_GET['story_id'],$Link);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_BOTH);
$section = $row['section'];
$added_by = $row['added_by'];
$headline = $row['headline'];
$byline_name = $row['byline_name'];
$appeared = $row['appeared'];
$opening = $row['opening'];
$body_text = $row['body_text'];
$picture = $row['picture'];
$pic_caption = $row['pic_caption'];
$pic_ref = $row['pic_ref'];
$notes = $row['notes'];
}

}
// Run Query
  $link = mysql_connect;
  mysql_select_db($db);
  $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error());
  mysql_close();
}

Whoops:

First IF should be:

[code]if(!isset($_GET['story_id'])
{
        $result = mysql_query("Update news set section='$section', added_by='$added_by', headline='$headline', byline_name='$byline_name', appeared='$appeared', opening='$opening', body_text='$body_text', picture='$picture', pic_caption='$pic_caption', pic_ref='$pic_ref', notes='$notes' where story_id=".$_GET['story_id']);
        $msg = "The Story record has been updated in the database - Please Click <a href=\"menu.php\">Here</a> to return to the main menu";
}[/code]

But still the same error - any further ideas please?

where story_id=".$_GET[story_id]);
