Been staring at the code for too long...

Okay... So I know this is a stupid question... But I've been staring at my code for far too long and now it's still not working so I thought I would show it to all of you and see if you can tell me where I'm being stupid :) this is dbmysqliconnect.php: <?php

        function dbmysqliconnect($server, $username, $password, $database, $link) {
                $link = mysqli_init();
                mysqli_real_connect($link, $server, $username, $password, $database) or die('could not connect: '.mysqli_connect_error());

                if (mysqli_connect_errno($link)) {
                        printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error($link));
                        exit();
                }

        return $link;
        }

?> this is a snipet of my index.php file: <?PHP

        include("php.ini.php");
        include("defaults.php");
        include("dbmysqliconnect.php");
        include("notify_email.php");
        include("send_email.php");

        $link = dbmysqliconnect($server, $username, $password, $database, $link);

        //Do NOT insert or update sales rep database through this method... Only included to be supplied to the notify_email function. JP
        $salesRepID = $_POST['salesRepID'];

        $stmt = mysqli_stmt_init($link);

        //Create the statement

        mysqli_stmt_prepare($stmt, "UPDATE database.table (
