i have data on one form which is echoed form a table, i want to use this data to update information in another table. whenever i hit the update button it show an error, "could not update data: query was empty", here is the update code, please help me out.

```
  <?php
     if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
        $dbhost = 'localhost';
        $dbuser = 'root';
        $dbpass = '';

        $conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass);

        if(! $conn ) {
           die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
        }

        $ItemId = $_POST['ItemId'];
        $Quantity = $_POST['Quantity'];

       //$sql = "UPDATE stationery ". "SET Quantity = $Quantity ". "WHERE ItemId = $ItemId" ;
        $sql = mysql_query("UPDATE stationery set Quantity = ". $Quantity ." WHERE ItemId = '".$ItemId."'");
       //$sql=mysql_query("UPDATE stationery SET Quantity = ".mysql_real_escape_string($Quantity)." WHERE IltemId = '".mysql_real_escape_string($ItemId)."'");
        mysql_select_db('dbtest');
        $retval = mysql_query( $sql, $conn );

        if(! $retval ) {
           die('Could not update data: ' . mysql_error());
        }
        echo "Updated data successfully\n";

        mysql_close($conn);
     }
  ?>

```

and this is the table where data is echoed from a mysql table

```
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db("dbtest", $con);

 $result = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM stationery");
echo "<table border = '1' style='margin-left:18px;margin-right:18px;'bgcolor='#CFC'>
  <tr><th bgcolor='#34495E' colspan='9'>
   <h1><font color='white' align='center'>&nbsp&nbsp&nbspORDER OFFICE SUPPLIES</font></h1>
</th></tr>
<tr bgcolor='#CFC' font size='18'>
<th>Item Name</th>
<th>Item Id</th>
<th>Quantity</th>
</tr>";

 while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
 {
    echo "<form action=\"\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\">";
    echo "<tr>";
    echo "<td><input type=\"text\" name=\"ItemName\"  size=\"30\" value=\" ". $row ['ItemName'] . "\" readonly></td>";
    echo "<td><input type=\"text\" name=\"ItemId\" value=\" ". $row ['ItemId'] . "\" readonly></td>";
   echo "<td><input type=\"text\" name=\"Quantity\" required></td>";
   echo "<td><input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" size=\"30\" style='background-color:#3366FF' value=\"Update  \"></td>";

 echo "</tr>";
   echo "</form>";
