PHP MySQL Update Column Error

I am trying to update some columns in a row with MySQL in PHP like so:

$updateuser_sql = "
UPDATE `users`
SET
`HeaderPictureID` = $insertid,
`Bio` = '" . myre($_POST['Bio']) . "',
`ContactEmail` = '". myre($_POST['ContactEmail']) ."',
`PhoneNo` = '". myre($_POST['PhoneNo']) ."',
`TwitterHandle` = '". myre($_POST['TwitterHandle']) ."'
WHERE
`UserID` = '{$_SESSION['userID']}'
";

$mysqli->query($updateuser_sql);

if($mysqli->errno) {
    $handlerreturn['status'] = 'USER_UPDATE_FAILURE';
    console.log('FAILED');
} else {
    $handlerreturn['status'] = 'EXEC_SUCCESS';
    console.log('WORKED');
}

Unfortunately this doesn't work and I get the log 'FAILED'. How can I find out, more precisely, what is wrong and work to fix the issue? Am I doing something so obviously wrong?

Thanks!

Put this at the end of your page

$_POST["Bio"] = "hi";
$_POST['ContactEmail'] = "cheese";
$_POST['PhoneNo'] = "lion";
$_POST['TwitterHandle'] = "asdl";
$_SESSION['userID'] = "asdf";

$updateuser_sql = "
                    UPDATE `users`
                    SET
                    `HeaderPictureID` = 1,
                    `Bio` = '" . $_POST['Bio'] . "',
                    `ContactEmail` = '". $_POST['ContactEmail'] ."',
                    `PhoneNo` = '". $_POST['PhoneNo'] ."',
                    `TwitterHandle` = '". $_POST['TwitterHandle'] ."'
                    WHERE
                    `UserID` = '{$_SESSION['userID']}'
                    ";

echo $updateuser_sql;

It'll spit out the UPDATE statement that is sent to the database. I didn't see any syntax errors from the above. I suspect the problem has to do with your custom "myre" function.
