You can't use multi-line strings like that in PHP. I presume in your code
it is actually written:

> $query = "UPDATE about SET category_id = $category_id_new WHERE about_id = $_SESSION[about_id]";

Then you can't use array values like that in strings. Zeldor was partly
right that it needs quotes around the key (because that is a string, not a
constant), but it also needs curly braces around the whole name if you are
going to use it inside the string:

$query = "... about_id = {$_SESSION['about_id']}";

For goodness sake, see
