I am having a problem getting php to change mysql database values. It can query the database fine but it won't change the database. What am I doing wrong?
I have tried many different methods of sql= UPDATE ****** none of which work including the sql = "UPDATE nuke_users SET user_sig = 2 WHERE username= '/Akadios/'";
That MySQL administrator Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.5.3 told me to put in simply to change usersig to 2 (note that the script UPDATE nuke_users SET user_sig='2' WHERE username = 'Akadios' directly put into MySQL functions correctly and when asked to make php code phpMyAdmin makes the code I tried which doesn't Anyways I have included all the SQL related code and left out other parts.
