I have this code to update my record and to check if there's any value on the respective input. But it's not even updating my record, and i got this error when i click on submit:




Fatal error: Uncaught PDOException: SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near '? = ':title', ? = ':keywords' WHERE title = ?'




if(isset($_POST["updateBTN"])){    

$insert_data = array(
'keywords' => $_POST['keywords'],
'img' => $_POST['img'],
'widht' => $_POST['widht'],
'status' => $_POST['status'],
'name' => $_POST['name'],
'height' => $_POST['height']
);
$sets="";

foreach ($insert_data as $column => $value) {

if ($value!=""){

$sets .= $column." = '".$column."', ";

}
}
$sets = rtrim($sets, ', ');

$query = "UPDATE table SET $sets WHERE title = :title";
$stmt = $conn->prepare($query);
$stmt->execute($insert_data);

}


html:



<form  method="post">
<div>
<input type="text" name="title">

    are you sure that you give right output of var_dump()?

  • echo your $query and check if that's the output you are looking for

  • When you are building your SQL, any string values need to inside quotes (something like $sets .= $column." = '".$column."', ";) but I would also recommend using prepared statements instead.

  • $query = "UPDATE table SET $sets WHERE title = :title"; ... you need bind the parameter $query ->bindParam(':title', $title);

  • "Widht" looks like it's spelt wrong. Is that the actual column name?

  • What does print_r($sets); show you?


  • $column values should ideally be encased in backticks

  • I hope you're cleaning that $_POST data!!!

  • Your error states "the right syntax to use near '? = ':title', ? = ':keywords' WHERE title = ?'" which implies the error comes before the first ?. Therefore, review the $sets string output from the bullet above.


And last but not least:




  • You REALLY SHOULD use the correct method for updating tables with PDO.
