Hi Bill,
No it isn't the latest it is updated with the quotes and slashes in the
script.
I have found that even if I put my name Jen as $update it still wont update
the table.
$update = Jen
There is no error and the script acts like it work fine without updating.
I just did a test.php script and ran it. It will print the user name but
still wont update the table.
This has me totally stumped.
Thanks
Jen

Hi all again!
As Bill Morrow stated (in a private e-mail) I needed to use SET name =
\$update\; instead of SET name = $update;
It has stopped giving the error but it isn't updating the table. Am I
doing
something wrong?
line 4 shows print(your name is $name); The user name is printed to
the
browser but it simply will not update the table.
$query = SELECT name FROM users WHERE uid={$session[uid]};
$ret = mysql_query($query);
while(list($name) = mysql_fetch_row($ret))
print (your name is $name);
$update = $name;
$query_update[name] = UPDATE my_items SET name = $update;
$result = mysql_query($query_update[name])or die(Error:
.mysql_error());
Is this your latest code? You still don't have quotes around $update, if
so.
Nothing returned in the .mysql_error()?
Can you run the query by hand?
Bill
