Question

I have a PHP Script with the following code:

$sql = "UPDATE tbl_p2e_place

            SET 
            `listingName` = $listing_name, `listingDescription` = $listing_description, 
            `listingSpecialOffers` = $listing_special_offers, `listingFoodTypes` = $listing_food_types,
            `listingAddress` = $listing_address, `CityID` = $listing_city, 
            `listingGPSSouth` = $gps_coordinate_south, `listingGPSEast` = $gps_coordinate_east,
            `listingLatitude` = $map_latitude, `listingLongitude` = $map_longitude, 
            `listingTime` = $listing_timing, `listingNumber` = $booking_number, 
            `listingEmail` = $email_address, `listingWebsite` = $lisiting_website, 
            `listingTwitter` = $lisiting_twitter, `listingFacebook` = $lisiting_facebook, 
            `listingIsFeatured` = $is_featured, `listingDisplay` = $display

            WHERE listingID = $listing_id"; 


    if(!mysql_query($sql))
    {
        die('Update Error: ' . mysql_error());
    }

    mysql_close($con);

The problem arises when I want to run the query I get the following error:

Update Error: Unknown column 'Shop' in 'field list'

Shop was entered as a input from the form.

What could cause this and how can I stop it?

Regards

Answer 1

use ” for the variables like

“UPDATE tbl_p2e_place

        SET 
        `listingName` = '".$listing_name."'................and so on
