hmmm can you check to see if your field is exactly named desc in the
table... also whether or not it can accept string ie char or varchar.

Subject: [PHP] mysql update not working
I have the following code:
$sql = UPDATE class_sub SET desc = '$catdesc', sub_cat = '$subcatname'
WHERE id='$catid';
echo $sql;
$sql_result = mysql_query($sql);
if (!$sql_result)
{
echo PCouldn't update record!br/p;
echo mysql_error();
exit;
} else
{
header(Location: index.php); /* Redirect browser */
exit;
}
here is the actual sql statement:
UPDATE class_sub SET desc = 'Come play with us! This class is designed
to challenge your cardiovascular and muscular endurance. Participants
will work or \play\ in different activities such as team exercises,
sprints, obstacle courses, cycling, plyometrics, and core conditioning.
Challenge yourself like never before!', sub_cat = 'Recess' WHERE id='4'
And the error:
Couldn't update record!
You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'desc = 'Come play with us!
This class is designed to challenge your cardiovascul' at line 1
the table is setup ok, i can INSERT data just fine.
If i remove desc = whatever from the sql statement it works fine. It
will update all fields in the table except desc. Now for the life of
me I cannot see a problem here. Could someone please give a pointer in
the right direction.
Thanks
Steve
