1-You've got GET and POST mixed together in your query. Is this
intentional?
2-You're using single quotes on the field names. Did you intend to
use ticks?
3-Have you tried pasting the resulting query into either a command
line or admin tool to see if MySQL is choking on something? One thing
that had me pulling out my hair for a few hours was I had NOT NULL on
a field in the DB, and one of the fields being updated was being
populated with a NULL.
Also, if PHP is not giving you an error message, check your reporting
level to make sure it should be giving you one.
Finally, just a suggestion - you might want to consider rewriting
queries like this to make them more readable:
$updatequery =
"UPDATE users
SET company = '".$_POST['company']."',".
"fname = '".$_POST['fname']."',".
"lname = '".$_POST['lname']."',".
"address1 = '".$_POST['address1']."',".
"address2 = '".$_POST['address2']."',".
"city = '".$_POST['city']."',".
"state = '".$_POST['state']."',".
"zip = '".$_POST['zip']."',".
"phone = '".$_POST['phone']."',".
"extension = '".$_POST['extension']."',".
"fax = '".$_POST['fax']."',".
"email = '".$_POST['email']."'".
"WHERE ID='".$_GET['record']."'";
