You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'FROM `users` WHERE `user_id` = '76'' at line 25

Try removing the quoutes around {$uid}. Putting qoutes around it makes SQL think it's a string, but it's not, it's an integer. Not sure if that would cause it all to act up like this though.

 FROM `users` WHERE `user_id` = '{$uid}'";

And are you sure that spaces is the way to go here? Seeing as you started using underscores and then started using spaces.

`user_research methodology perferred`
`user_researchers cited in your research`

Posted: **Tue Apr 10, 2012 10:12 pm**

i have tried with and without the ' ' and the spaces worked before!!!

Posted: **Tue Apr 10, 2012 10:16 pm**

   `user_acidemic influences` AS `acidemicinfluences`,
                FROM `users`
                WHERE `user_id` = '{$uid}'";

there should not be a comma after your last line.

What do you mean it stopped? Did it just break all of a sudden or did you change anything in the code beforehand?
Are you getting any error messages?

Is the page refreshing but not doing anything?

Posted: **Mon Apr 16, 2012 6:09 pm**

oh right lol ya i changed the database and the code to match it...it right because it shows the user info just fine....it just doesn't change it no more...it was but since the change it stopped but it should be fine cuz i just changed the words around.

Posted: **Tue Apr 17, 2012 7:41 pm**

well, there has to be a typo somewhere. Are you not getting any errors?

I did find one typo.

you spelled confidenceproceedings " confidencepoceedings " in at least two different places.

Posted: **Tue Apr 17, 2012 11:24 pm**

ya i noticed that as well so i went through a copied and pasted the mysql to every single code in my two pages.... it just doesn't work :S i think there is something wrong here...

	$user_info = array(
		'institution' 						=> htmlentities($_POST['institution']),
		'department' 						=> htmlentities($_POST['department']),
		'location' 							=> htmlentities($_POST['location']),
		'speciality' 						=> htmlentities($_POST['speciality']),
		'keywords'							=> htmlentities($_POST['speciality']),
		'researchcentre'					=> htmlentities($_POST['researchcentre']),
		'website' 							=> htmlentities($_POST['website']),
		'articlespublishedpre'				=> htmlentities($_POST['articlespublishedpre']),
		'articlespublishednonpre'			=> htmlentities($_POST['articlespublishednonpre']),
		'publishedbooks'					=> htmlentities($_POST['publishedbooks']),
		'socialmedia'						=> htmlentities($_POST['socialmedia']),
		'publishedchapters'					=> htmlentities($_POST['publishedchapters']),
		'confidenceproceedings'				=> htmlentities($_POST['confidenceproceedings']),
		'nonacidemicinfluences'				=> htmlentities($_POST['nonacidemicinfluences']),
		'datasets'							=> htmlentities($_POST['datasets']),
		'researchmethodologyperferred'		=> htmlentities($_POST['researchmethodologyperferred']),
		'researcherscitedinyourresearch'	=> htmlentities($_POST['researcherscitedinyourresearch']),
		'memberships'						=> htmlentities($_POST['memberships']),
		'acidemicinfluences'				=> htmlentities($_POST['acidemicinfluences'])
	);
}else{

i just don't know what?

Click update to edit your portfolio.
is the only error i get when i update it the other error doesn't show stating that my portfolio has been updated

Posted: **Tue Apr 17, 2012 11:49 pm**

well, the only thing I can think of right now has to be that you have a typo in your database. What does your table structure look like?

Posted: **Wed Apr 18, 2012 12:09 am**

mysql

Posted: **Sat Apr 21, 2012 1:31 am**

Follow it back from the error message

        if (isset($errors) === false){
                echo 'Click update to edit your portfolio.';
        }

this displays if the $errors variable is not set. So where is it set ?

if (isset($_POST['institution'], $_POST['department'], $_POST['location'], $_POST['speciality'], $_POST['keywords'], $_POST['researchcentre'], $_POST['website'], $_POST['articlespublishedpre'], $_POST['publishedbooks'], $_POST['socialmedia'], $_POST['publishedchapters'], $_POST['confidenceproceedings'], $_POST['nonacidemicinfluences'], $_POST['datasets'], $_POST['researchmethodologyperferred'], $_POST['researcherscitedinyourresearch'], $_POST['memberships'], $_POST['acidemicinfluences'])){
        $errors = array();

If this massive list of variables exist. So my guess is that you miss-typed one of them ? check them all with the html and see if that is it.

No that was not the case!! i checked the back end file the edit file and everything it did not work

im so stumped!!!!

Can you add a

echo 'TEST';

under the if (isset()){ check, just so we can confirm that the correct data is being sent.
