I'm trying to update a record in a MSSQL database. When I execute the following code on an IIS5 webserver, I get an error message that says: PHP Warning: odbc_do(): SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid column name 'Tom'., SQL state S0022 in SQLExecDirect in E:\web\phptest\dbtest.php on line 31 This is after I've submitted the name Tom in the form. Does anyone have any ideas?! Thanks very much in advance! -Kermit <?php $fname=$_POST['first']; if (!(is_null($fname))) { if (!($odbccon = odbc_connect("******", "******", "******"))) { die("<p>Could not Connect.</p>"); } else { echo"<p>Connected to Database.</p>"; $sqlupdate="UPDATE UserInfo SET ZNum='112763', FirstName=$fname, LastName='Short', TA='00', Building='1197', Room='112', Div='FWO', Grp='IIM' WHERE ZNum='112763'"; $sqlupdresults=odbc_do($odbccon, $sqlupdate); $query="SELECT * FROM UserInfo WHERE ZNum=112763"; $qresults=odbc_do($odbccon, $query); odbc_result_all($qresults, "border=1"); odbc_close($odbccon); echo "<p>Connection Closed.</p>"; } } else { ?> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="post" name="test"> First Name: <input type="text" name="first" /><br /> <input type="submit" name="submit" /> </form> <?php } ?> -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
