Sorry for the standards - Copied from WP itself.

Basically each isset redoes a form action and populates the page... the problem is it isn't updating, I can't see where the fault is as such...

Just wondering if a second pair of eyes could help?

I get nothing. Just a blank page :P

Still not working :(

                                if($sql_edit) {
                                    echo "Successful";
                                    } else {
                                    echo "error";
                                        }
                                    }
                            }
                        }       
?>

Ahh derp.

Ok it now returns error. Is there a way I can check the error?

Error log is empty

"Errormessage:"

  if($sql_edit) {
                    echo "Successful";
                } else {
                    printf("Errormessage: %s\n", mysqli_error($con_edit));
                }

tis a blank message aswell :(

Any reason why you don't use the wp-build-in database class: $wpdb?
