Re: Update form not Updating the database.

It looks like you don't have a space between the closing parans ) and
WHERE.

Also, are you secure from sql injection attacks? Be sure to escape bad
characters and check for is_numeric (if the value is supposed to be
numeric) before putting any user-defined data into a query. It is far
too easy for people to run a DELETE or DROP statement against your
database when you're not secure against injections.
