Man of Honour
Not quite my programming arena , but my son is having an issue with a form submission while trying to update a MYSQL database.
We keep getting the following error:
Using a simple table called contactdata, with just an ID and first name.. for now.
index.html
demo.php
Web.config
Google's plenty of possible solutions, but none have managed to resolve this.
Any idea would be greatly appreciated.
