MYSQL statment in PHP script

[Anon]

I am trying to update 2 fields of a record with a mysql statment in my php script. It is not working, and it is not generating any error messages either!!! Can someone shed some light on this?
Here is the statment:

$row = @(\"UPDATE books SET isbn=$isbn, title=$title WHERE bid = $bid\");

If I leave only one field to be updated, it works fine. I tried the statement in the intercative mode on mysql and it works just fine.

Thanks.

Man... are you the same person who posted in the thread above this one?

$row = @("UPDATE books SET isbn=$isbn, title=$title WHERE bid = $bid");

damn backslash freaks the lot of you!

No, why would I post under different name?
And your suggestion was?
