Question

I want to update a mysql database. That has become a common practice for me, but for some reason with no error, it just doesn’t work. The only thing I have never done is compare against 2 variables(in this case, ID && Name)

$name = $_POST['name'];
$duty = $_POST['duty'];
$number = $_POST['number'];
$url = $_POST['url'];

 $insert = "UPDATE vendors SET name = '$_POST[name]', duty = '$_POST[duty]', number = '$_POST[number]', url = '$_POST[url]' WHERE id = '$id' && name = '$name'";

$result=mysql_query($insert) or die(mysql_error());

 if ($result) {
 header("location:**HIDDEN**");

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Write this instead:

$name = $_POST['name'];
$duty = $_POST['duty'];
$number = $_POST['number'];
$url = $_POST['url'];

 $insert = "UPDATE `vendors` SET `name` = '{$_POST['name']}', `duty` = '{$_POST['duty']}', `number` = '{$_POST['number']}', `url` = '{$_POST['url']}' WHERE (`id` = '$id' AND `name` = '$name')";

$result = @mysql_query($insert) or die(mysql_error());

 header("location:**HIDDEN**");

It should now work. Notify me if there still is a problem.
