    copied!<p>can you help me solve this? my update query in my else statement is not excuting but it's working in the if statement. Here's the code.</p> <pre><code> while($qtytoAdd &gt; 0) { $remBalance = mysql_result(mysql_query('SELECT `est_qty` - `qty_rec` as balance FROM `estimates` WHERE `proj_id` = "'.$proj_id.'" AND `mat_id` = "'.mat_id_from_mat_desc($materials).'" AND `qty_rec` &lt;&gt; `est_qty` ORDER BY `item_id` ASC'), 0); $balid = mysql_result(mysql_query('SELECT `est_id` FROM `estimates` WHERE `proj_id` = "'.$proj_id.'"

The query that I'm talking about is this one:</p> <pre><code>mysql_query('UPDATE `estimates` SET `qty_onhand` = `qty_rec` - `qty_rel` WHERE `proj_id` = '.$proj_id.' AND `qty_rec` &lt;&gt; `est_qty` AND `mat_id` = '.mat_id_from_mat_desc($materials).' AND `est_id` = '.$balid.''); </code></pre>
