I wouldn't ask if i wasn't sure that i have 100% no idea why this isn't working, so, in PHP i'm simply trying to update a value in the MySQL database:

The field im updating - Name: read - Type: tinyint - Length: 1

Here is the PHP code:

do_SQL("UPDATE messages SET read=1 WHERE id='".$id."'");

The do_SQL function is working for everything else, so it's something wrong with this statement. I have tried putting 1 in '1' and it still didn't work.m The error is:

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'read=1 WHERE id='1'' at line 1

Thanks for reading!
