Hi,
I'm using UPDATE for the first time and can't get it working.
If a do an update on it's own, it works but overwrites the record item.

$msgid is a TIMESTAMP and there are a few other items,
but I only want to add some text to the message item, 
so I read the record item first:

$sql = "SELECT message FROM sleepdesk WHERE logged='$msgid' LIMIT 1";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$update = $row[0].$addition;  

/*
Message is now in $update with additional text OK
If I do an update now, it doesn't work?
*/

$sql = "UPDATE sleepdesk SET message='$update' WHERE logged='$msgid'";
mysql_query($sql);

Where have I gone wrong?
Thanks, Bob E.
