Question

I’m trying to update the a field for my user with the code provided below according to http://codex.wordpress.org/wpdb#query_-_Run_Any_Query_on_the_Database

$wpdb->update($table, $data, $where); 

Below you can see how I implemented it hoping it would work, but fails to do so. It just won’t change the email for user foobar like it needs to.

global $wpdb;
$wpdb->update('wp_usermeta',
    array('email' => '[e-mail]'),
    array('user' => 'foobar')                               
);

Any ideas?

global $wpdb;
$wpdb->update(
    $wpdb->usermeta,
    array(
        'meta_value' => '[e-mail]')
    ),
    array(
        'user' => 'foobar',
        'meta_key' => 'email'
    )
);
