[PHP] Echo in an echo?

[Dentafrice]

Or you could just remove $form, and don't put an else on the action, and the form will magically show again..

Thanks Caleb, I'm going to go with you and Beau's idea.

What ever floats your boat.
There are no bad ways, only bad adventures lol

There are bad ways of doing things.. :\ I'm not saying echoing out a variable is a bad thing, don't take it that way as it's just a way to do something..

But there are appropriate and inappropriate ways of doing something.. like using sprintf here:

$username = "Bla";
$password = "blabla";

$credentials = sprintf( "%s:%s", $username, $password ); 

when you could just as easily, and recommended do:

$credentials = "{$username}:{$password}";

New problem:

    mysql_query("UPDATE `users` (`firstname`, `lastname`, `nickname`, `location`, `email`, `gender`, `bio`, `favmovies`, `favmusic`, `favbooks`) VALUES ('".$fname."', '".$lname."', '".$nname."', '".$location."', '".$email."', '".$gender."', '".$bio."', '".$fmovies."', '".$fmusic."', '".$fbooks."',)"); 

That code doesn't update the mysql database.

dunno if it does anything but theres a random comma at the end :]

@ Dentafrice: is there a difference between '".$bio."' and '$bio'? Always wanted to know :]

''s can't handle inline variables..

$text = "Hello, world!";

echo '$text'; 

^^ That won't work.

$text = "Hello, world!";

echo "$text"; 

^^ This will..

Caleb, when I use your code:

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 '(`firstname`, `lastname`, `nickname`, `location`, `email`, `gender`, `bio`, `fav' at line 1

BOX! go and read a damn tutorial site and stop asking so many questions, 99% of them will be answered on a tutorial site.

that's why you need to use UPDATE `table` SET `field`='$value', `field`='$value'
