Solved: php function page for mysql_query("INSERT......)

Thank you for telling me about the code snippet. I do have a common.php page for starting the database as you will see in the snippet:

<?php
 $sDbHost = 'localhost';
 $sDbName = 'northwind'; 
 $sDbPwd  = '';

$dbConn = mysql_connect ($sDbHost, $sDbUser, $sDbPwd) or die ('MySQL connect failed. ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($sDbName,$dbConn) or die('Cannot select database. ' . mysql_error());
?>

My aim is to learn how to make some codes portable and easier to debug. Since I easily mess up the sql code, and I agree in entirety to your earlier suggestion of keeping each name=value pair (and WHERE in the UPDATE page) on an individual line, that's why the question. I had attached the INSERT page, not the UPDATE page, as example because it was shorter. But to express myself better, let's post the UPDATE page now in snippet. the modular I want to move is the mysql_query("UPDATE products SET... on line 141:

My apology for using a lot of layman php description. I'll keep learning to improve it.
