PHP Udate MySQL command

I am trying to get an update command to work in PHP. I am able to update records going directly to phpmyadmin command line. I have even let it produce the php code to insert, but have not been able to get it to work. I have it stripped down to one command hoping to get it to work then replicate entire forms for clients to use direct.I get no error codes, I only get my message "It did not enter into DB"; Anyone see where I am going wrong?
