Sam, I have changed it but the result is still the same: Basically I am getting $E = $C , it seems that it is not picking up the value of $G (and there is a value of 500 in there and it is the only row of data). -----Original Message----- From: Sam Chill [mailto:samchill@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, 24 June 2004 2:55 PM To: php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Update data problem $E= "$C*$G"; Should be: $E = $C * $G; Never use quotation marks when doing math. Quotation marks are used for strings.
