    The string concatenation above looks really messy!
    I would go for something simple:


    $sql = "UPDATE $tablename SET stock='$stock' WHERE itemname='$itemname'";

    If this doesn’t work, you should debug the values of : $tablename, $stock and $itemname

    ps. I’ve already given +1 to Nick 🙂
