Question

i am getting 0 in the database table pets where pet_id should be updated to the logged in users id

any ideas please i think this something simple but im not sure.

<?php require 'database.php';
session_start();
$id = $_SESSION['user_id'];
$_SESSION['user_id']= $id;  
$_SESSION['user_name'] = $full_name;
$_SESSION['user_level'] = $user_level;
$_SESSION['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] = md5($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
$_SESSION['session_name'] = $user_name;
$_SESSION['balance']= $balance;  
$value = 1050;
$user_id = mysql_insert_id($link);


$sql_insert1 = "INSERT into `pets`
            (`pet_id`,`value`)
            VALUES
            ('.$id','$value')";



mysql_query($sql_insert1,$link) or die("Failed" . mysql_error());

?>

You have an unnecessary period, try:

$sql_insert1 = "INSERT into `pets`
                (`pet_id`, `value`)
                VALUES
                ('$id', '$value')";
