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.
