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.
