Try your WHERE clause with a SELECT statement and see if it's actually
matching any rows.

RE: [PHP-DB] UPDATE Not Updating

[Dave Watkinson]

Isn't PHP/MySQL case sensitive? Are all the column names the correct
case?

You could also try changing your die bit to

or die (mysql_error());

that will echo the MySQL error message.

HTH!

I belive this UPDATE should work, but it isn't. I get no errors. I have
also
tried using FieldName= '$Fieldname', but that does not seem to work
either.



$table_name = "contacts";


$update_contact_sql = "UPDATE $table_name
SET
FirstName =\"$FirstName\",
LastName = \"$LastName\",
Title = \"$Title\",
WorkPhone = \"$WorkPhone\",
HomePhone = \"$HomePhone\",
Mobile = \"$Mobile\",
EmailName = \"$EmailName\",
Birthday = \"$Birthday\"
WHERE ContactID = \"$ContactID\"
";


$result = @mysql_query($update_contact_sql, $connection) or die
("Couldn't
execute query.");
