Hi, I am having a small problem when it comes to updating some tables that I have. tblmembers and tbloptions are both linked together with the exact same userid #. here is the code i have been using... mysql_query("UPDATE tbloptions SET strColorPref='$tmpColorPref' strTextPref='$tmpTextPref' strLinkPref='$tmpLinkPref' strALinkPref='$tmpALinkPref' WHERE strIDent='$_SESSION[strIDent]'"); mysql_query("UPDATE tblmembers SET strAction='Successfully updated user settings on $logdate.' WHERE strIDent='$_SESSION[strIDent]'"); Now, heres where i am confused, the second update statement for tblmembers, works fine, no problems. The variables listed in both statements work, i have tested them. The second statement however does not seem to insert the data into the table at all. no errors are returned, all seems good, but the data isn't there. i have privileges set for both tables properly. i can't figure it out, if anyone can help, please reply. :) Hartleigh Burton www.channel-x.org -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
