Re: [PHP] Re: order of update??

2001-08-23 Thread Gerard Samuel

Im currently hacking away at a current setup that uses php/mysql on a
user table.  I have successfully inserted and selected from it, but I
cannot update.  Yes there were quotes, but thanks for letting me know
that the order didn't matter, that narrows my list of possibilities
down.  Talk to you all later.

  the order does not matter. (although unless you're sure $a is an
  integer value, you may want to wrap it in quotes, too.)

Why can't you update ?  What error message are you getting?

No visible errors per se.  When I run the script, it either doesn't 
update the database or if I specify the password, it deletes the entry 
in the database.  Its something on my end.  I got to look it over, Thanks

As a debugging aid, use mysql_error() to trap any error messages returned 
from the database, and mysql_affected_rows to determine the number of 
rows affected by your update query. It _might_ be that your query is 
valid, but actually no rows meet the criteria for update?
