Still having problems
$array[answer] is passed from a previous page with this page.
<p align="right">Answer: <TEXTAREA NAME="array[answer]" ROWS=8
COLS=60></TEXTAREA><BR>
<? echo ("<TD><A HREF=\"submit_answer.php?id=$id&task=submit\">Submit
Answer</A></TD>");?></TR>
Have tried changing to array[$answer] on both pages without any luck.
Changed the code to:
$query = "UPDATE submissions SET answers = \"".$array[$answer]."\" where id
= \"$id\"";
and added the following:
echo mysql_affected_rows();
affected rows returns 0 although query returns the correct id
