Okay, since you won't only want to rely on isset() here (in case
someone accidentally hits a key into the field), try this:
// NOTE: This assumes prior sanity checks and cleansing
// of variables, and is written like so to avoid breaking
// of the query due to mail client-enforced line breaks.
$chpwsql = "UPDATE current SET ";
$chpwsql .= "customerName='".$customername."',";
$chpwsql .= "loginName='".$loginName."',";
if(preg_match('/^[a-z0-9]{5,16}$/i',$PW)) {
// If it's between 5-16 case-insensitive alphanumeric
// characters, it's all good. If you want to allow symbols,
// simply modify the regexp accordingly.
$chpwsql .= "loginPassword='".$PW."',";
}
$chpwsql .= "email='".$email."',";
$chpwsql .= "adminLevel='".$adminLevel',";
$chpwsql .= " WHERE Record='".$Record1."'";
$chpwsql .= " LIMIT 1";
