[thelist] php/mySQL update problem

[John Corry]

I always begin by writing the function to return the query as text on 
the page. That makes it easier to find all the quote escapes, missing 
commas and other problems that invariably come up when doing complex 
concatenations.

'$var' won't get parsed, you have to do it like:
"WHERE field = '".$var."'

Try printing out the query and pasting it into phpMyAdmin to see if it 
will run...

PS - anyone know how to make thunderbird default messages to plain text?
