Question

Unknown column 'sort' in 'where clause'

i am using the following query

mysql_query("UPDATE `category` SET `sort`='1' WHERE `sort`='0'")

the sort colum is exist on the database but i dont know y its not updating

Answer 1

The query is correct. That would mean that your observation - that column sort exists in table category in the currently selected DB - is incorrect.
