Hello guys and girls im trying to a sql update but think i forgot a ‘ or a ”
im getting this error messege

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ”Brock’=’1’WHERE username = ‘admin” at line 1

The fault lies with in this bit of code if i take the code out the page loads witht he rest of the scripts on it. But need it two do the update.

$blah = mysql_query("UPDATE users SET '".$_SESSION['gymleader']."'='1'WHERE username = '".$_SESSION['username']."'")
or die(mysql_error());

Were am i going wrong ?

    Besides the fact that this looks like a bad idea to code like this, assuming you have a column named Brock then you should use this types of quotes instead: 

    $blah = mysql_query("UPDATE users SET `".$_SESSION['gymleader']."`='1' WHERE username = '".$_SESSION['username']."'")
or die(mysql_error());

    Notice I replaced your ' with `
