I think what you are trying to do is coordinated a bit wrong, perhaps 
http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_insert.asp

could be of some help for you to achieve this in the future.

Taking a look at your query, i do see what you are trying to do, but the 
structure is wrong.


$query = "INSERT INTO users (avatars) VALUES ('$avname')WHERE id 
='$user_id')";




Also - it looks like an UPDATE might be more suitable for what you want, 
given that you've got a WHERE clause tacked on the end. Google for a 
good SQL tutorial; the PHP mailing list is not the place to learn SQL :)

Hello Mark,

I think what you are trying to do is coordinated a bit wrong, perhaps 
http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_insert.asp

could be of some help for you to achieve this in the future.

Taking a look at your query, i do see what you are trying to do, but the 
structure is wrong.


$query = "INSERT INTO users (avatars) VALUES ('$avname')WHERE id ='$user_id')";


As Nicolas said, it is important that you understand your abilities to 
debug these queries by outputting them through simple commands such as 
echo or even the php-mysql function mysql_error(); give these a try


Let us know how it works out!

The format for insert queries is:

insert into table(field1, field2) values ('value1', 'value2') 

or

insert into table set field1=value2, field2=value2 etc.

What exactly is the tablename? Also you don't need the ) on the end:

$query = "INSERT INTO tablename SET id =$user_id '','$avname'";

don't you need a session_start() somewhere ?
(or it's in the header.php or connect.php perhaps ?)

$comp_id = $_SESSION['comp_id'];
$user_id = $_SESSION['user_id'];

// Grab variables and insert into database

$avname = $_POST['avname'];


$query = "INSERT INTO users AVATARS WHERE id =$user_id '','$avname')";
mysql_query($query);s

mysql_close();

include("footer.html");
?>

I am trying to insert the value of $avname into the users table, into the 
avatar field. 

  

could you tell us a bit more about what's in the $avname ?
try an echo $query and run your query with an sql client to check if the 
database accepts your request.
