i can't seem to get the script to actually update in the database. I echo $sql; and everything seems to be correct.
$sql = "UPDATE brothers SET fname = '$fname', lname = '$lname', aim = '$aim', major = '$major', major2 = '$major2', minor = '$minor', minor2 = '$minor2',
minor3 = '$minor4', email = '$email', number = '$number', pledgeclass = '$pledgeclass', password = '$password', phone = '$phone', address = '$address',
city = '$city', state = '$state', zip = '$zip', birthdate = '$birthdate', bigbrother = '$bigbrother', littlebro = '$littlebro', little2 = '$little2',
little3 = '$little3', little4 = '$little4' WHERE brother_id = '$bid'";
$query = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
