Question

I have a variable $Altgeraet it contains “OK” or “NOK”.

I have an mysql field called Status_Altgeraet in the table zuordnung. So now I want to UPDATE or SET the field based on the variable.

This is what I tried:

$sql_Update = "UPDATE zuordnung SET Status_Altgeraet = ".$Altgeraet"";  
mysql_query($sql_Update);

Can you give me tips how to solve this? I’m a php beginner.

Answer 1

You missed quotes around the string input and a . concat at the end of your line:

$sql_Update = "UPDATE zuordnung SET Status_Altgeraet = '".$Altgeraet."'";
