Re: Struggling with code

try $sql = "UPDATE $table_name SET name = '".addslashes($name)."', lname = '".addslashes($lname)."', mobil = '".addslashes($mobil)."', email = '".addslashes($email)."', url = '".addslashes($url)."', WHERE id= $id "; // mysql needs single quote marks ( ' ) around input values that are not numbers. The addslashes keeps // names like Al "Scar Face" Capone or Nina O'Clock from causing your script to puke.
