PHP Code:

  <?php

session_start(); 

 
if (!empty($_POST[username]))

{

    if ($_POST[password] != $_POST[password2])

        exit("Error - Passwords don't match. Please go back and try again.");

 
    require_once("connect.php");

 
    $query = mysql_query("update set members 

    (province, kingdom, email, msn, password)

    $affected_rows = $sql->id = $_SESSION[id];

    VALUES    (,'$_POST[province]','$_POST[kingdom]','$_POST[email]','$_POST[msn]','$_POST[password]')")

 
    or die ("Error - Couldn't edit account.");

    

 include("header.inc"); 

    echo "You have succesfully edited your account!<br /><br />

        Please login <a href='login.php'><b>here</b></a>.";

 include("footer.inc"); 

    exit();

}

 
?>

 
 
<?php include("header.inc"); ?>        <form action="account.php" method="post">

PHP Code:

  $query = mysql_query("update set members

    (province, kingdom, email, msn, password)

    $affected_rows = $sql->id = $_SESSION[id];

    VALUES    (,'$_POST[province]','$_POST[kingdom]','$_POST[email]','$_POST[msn]','$_POST[password]')")

Check the syntax of that

You declare a variable right in the middle of an SQL query!

Halbarad · 09-13-2005, 01:36 PM

you mean this line?
$affected_rows = $sql->id = $_SESSION[id];

mholt · 09-13-2005, 01:38 PM

Yes. You can't declare a variable in a MySQL query.

Halbarad · 09-13-2005, 01:41 PM

but this can not be the problem cuz if i put it outside the MySQL query it still doesnt work.

any other suggestions

mholt · 09-13-2005, 02:08 PM

Why is there a comma in "VALUES(," .... that should not be there.

axilant · 09-13-2005, 02:23 PM

PHP Code:

  $affected_rows = $sql->id = $_SESSION[id];

$query = mysql_query("update set members

    (province, kingdom, email, msn, password)

    VALUES ('$_POST[province]','$_POST[kingdom]','$_POST[email]','$_POST[msn]','$_POST[password]')");
