Body
copied!<p>I'm having problems running this query. I keep on getting the error:</p> <blockquote> <p>You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'read = 'readd' WHERE user_id = '1' LIMIT 1' at line 1</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>The code</strong></p> <pre><code> $conn = mysql_connect('localhost', 'admin', 'root') or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db('main') or die(mysql_error()); $read = "message read"; $set_statuss = "UPDATE inbox ". "SET read = '".$read."' ". "WHERE user_id = '".$_SESSION['user_id']."' ". "LIMIT 1"; </code></pre> <p>Edit: This is the table:</p> <pre><code> CREATE TABLE `inbox` ( `inbox_id` int(5) NOT NULL auto_increment, `posted_to` int(5) NOT NULL, `posted_by` int(5) NOT NULL, `subject` text NOT NULL, `message` text NOT NULL, `date_posted` datetime NOT NULL, `read` text NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`inbox_id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=3 ; </code></pre> <p>Edit: Updated the query, but now the PHP is just appearing as white..</p> <pre><code> $read = "read"; $set_statuss = "UPDATE inbox ". "SET read = '".$read."' ". "WHERE posted_to = '{$_SESSION['user_id']}' AND inbox_id = '".$_GET['msg_id'];."' "; mysql_query($set_statuss) or die(mysql_error() . $set_statuss); </code></pre> <p>And the url in the address bar: </p> <pre><code> http://localhost:8888/wmin/msg.php?user_id=1&msg_id=2 </code></pre> <p>Does anyone see where i'm going wrong? Thanks!</p>
