Stupid Query Problem

[aussiefly]

Hi everyone!

 

I am getting a mysql syntax error when I stick this query in my script.

$insert ="UPDATE `members` SET (email, password,  phone) VALUES ('$_POST[email]','.md5($_POST[password]).','.$_POST[phone]') WHERE `members`.`email` = $_SESSION[email]";

 

Its probably a bit of a sloppy query...i'm updating some user settings via a form.

 

any idea what i'm missing??? Ity's the first time I've tried to update multiple fields etc.

$insert ="UPDATE `members` SET (email, password,  phone) VALUES ('$_POST','md5($_POST[password])','$_POST[phone]') WHERE `members`.`email` = $_SESSION['email']";

Try this:

 

<?php
$insert ="UPDATE `members` SET (email, password,  phone) VALUES ('".$_POST[email]."','".md5($_POST[password])."','".$_POST[phone]."') WHERE `members`.`email` =".$_SESSION[email];
?>

 

There was a couple of syntax errors (quotes missing)

yup i've tried all of those solutions and im still getting a syntax error when i click the submit.

 

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 '(email, password, phone) VALUES (randomemail@email.com,'c5dedfe8df822a7d3d9103' at line 1

 

any ideas why i suck at SQL

Echo out your sql statement before you query the db. What does it look like?

 

Looking at your message above there are quotes missing from around the email address.

Thanks everyone. I managed to get around it and get the script to work.

 

I apologise for all my newbyness
