@so_is_thisNov 24.2006 — An SQL Update statement does not return a result set.

@franknuauthorNov 24.2006 — how do i fix that, i think that i should work the way it is

@MatMelNov 24.2006 — As "so_is_this" said you can not fetch anything from an UPDATE query.

So to fix the problem just remove the line "$sql = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);".

You aren't using $sql anyway !

Success!
