I keep getting

Server error
The website encountered an error while retrieving https://www.website.com/update.php?FName=asdd&PHONE=4444444444. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.

<?php

    $FName = $_POST['FName'];
    $LName = $_POST['LName'];
    $PHON = $_POST['PHON'];

    //connect
    $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "username", "password") or die ('ERROR!');
    mysql_select_db ("user_Client"); 

    $query = "INSERT INTO ClientTable (ID, FName, LName, PHON) VALUES 
                ('NULL','".$FName."','".$LName."','".$PHON."')";

    mysql_query($query) or die ('Error updating Daatabase');
    echo "Database Update with:" .$FName. " " .$LName. " " .$PHON. ;
?>

I don’t know what’s the problem here. I followed instructions from here http://teamtutorials.com/web-development-tutorials/php-tutorials/inserting-data-into-a-mysql-database-using-php#.UEiSQY3iajk
If it helps – I’m using cPanel from Josthost.

Here is the form:

<html>
        <head>
                <title></title>
        </head>

        <body>
                <form method="post" action="update.php">
                        First Name:<br/>
                        <input type="text" name="FName" size="30" /><br/>
                        Last Name:<br/>
                        <input type="text" name="LName" size="30" /><br/>
                        Phone:<br/>
                        <input type="text" name="PHON" size="12" /><br/>
                        <input type="submit" value="Update Database"/>
                </form>
        </body>
</html>

    Your last statement is wrong:

    echo "Database Update with:" .$FName. " " .$LName. " " .$PHON. ;

    Should be (without the last dot):

    echo "Database Update with:" .$FName. " " .$LName. " " .$PHON ;

    If you look in the error log of your webserver, you’ll be able to see the error. Another idea could be to turn on errors in PHP in either php.ini or with ini_set("display_errors", 1);. Make sure you only do that on your development system though.
