500 Server Error when adding Update function

Attached page is fine without the Update function added.. but as soon as I add it to the page and load it from the web server in a browser, I'm getting a general 500 error and no amount of tweaking seems to fix it. Help!

Add this to the top of the page:

php:
<?php

ini_set
('display_errors',1);
?>


That should give you a better error message that could lead you to the solution.

Yeah, I tried that already, and it doesn't give me any error. Just continues to say:
Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator to inform of the time the error occurred and of anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

If you give me ftp access to the server and a url I can debug it.

I'd start by adding a die("here"); statement on top of the page and then move it down a few lines at a time until I didn't see it any more. That would help narrow down the exact line of code causing the error. Once you have the line of code narrowed down, then you can hypothesis about why it causes an error... we just need more information than a general error.

I can do that, but first, can you maybe explain why this error ONLY begins to happen once the mySQLi Update function code is added? It's definitely SOMETHING in that chunk of code.

No I can't... that is why I would narrow it down using die() statements. It could be something as simple as you didn't upload one of the required library files. Once you narrow down the line of code I can formulate a hypothesis.

What is the url? I'll need that to test.

Actually I can see by looking that you haven't uploaded the file: webassist/mysqli/queryobj.php

That is probably the issue.
