You are correct Nicos, passing the values as a parameter list does 
protect you from SQL injection JT has made an error.

As already noted JT made an error in assuming you were using string 
substitution & not passing parameters the quotes are not required & will 
case errors.

as to your problem you have already been advised that update does not 
generate any returned data.
to see the data you need to issue a select.

to make debugging easier I suggest you need to use an easier way to see 
what is happening in the database
assuming you are using mysql then phpmyadmin may help

also as i have previously suggested it would be wise to keep this system 
off the internet untill you are satisfied it is working correctly & 
secure.
