is there something wrong with this code

[wolf73]

$loginupdate= mysql_query("update wholeseller_profile set last_login = '$putdate' where email ='$email '" )
or die("Couldn't execute query: " . mysql_error());

this sql exectues fine. But I was wondering shouldn't it be
mysql_query("update wholeseller_profile set last_login = '$putdate' where email ='$email '" )
or die("Couldn't execute query: " . mysql_error());


with out $loginupdate at start

It works the same way, the only thing that $loginupdate does is catch the results for the mysql_query

Its quite pointless for an update as it returns no result set.
but if it where say a select statement such as:

SELECT *FROM mytable

It would catch the resultset which could then be used in [blue]mysql_fetch_array[/blue] or [blue]mysql_fetch_assoc[/blue]
