it's the WHERE clause, it's illegal there.

what are you trying to do? if you want to change the heading & paragraph
columns of every row in malibu_data where the page_name & par_id match
your values, this should be an UPDATE.

if you want to create a new record in malibu_data for every record
that meets your criteria - which would be a kind of strange thing to
do, but whatever - you'd need to write it like

insert into malibu_data (heading,paragraph)
select '$heading', '$paragraph'
from malibu_data
where page_name = '$page_name' and par_id = '$par_id'


Always try to run your queries in MySQL directly first. You'd
see the same error, and remove worries about any kind of PHP coding
problem.
