Drodown option to database - php

Question

My query is not sending chosen state to database,
<?php
if( !isset( $_SESSION ) ){
session_start();
}
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "test");
// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
// escape variables for security
$firstname = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['firstname']);
$lastname = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['lastname']);
$number = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['number']);
$email = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['email']);
$addressone = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['addressone']);
$addresstwo = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['addresstwo']);
$city = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['city']);
$state = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['state']);
$zip = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['zip']);
$sql="UPDATE users SET `firstname`='$firstname', `lastname` = '$lastname',`number`='$number', `email` = '$email',`addressone`='$addressone', `addresstwo` = '$addresstwo',`city`='$city', `state` = '$state', `zip` = '$zip' WHERE `id`='" .$_SESSION['id']."'";
if (!mysqli_query($con,$sql)) {
die('Error: ' . mysqli_error($con));
}
header("Location:dashboard.php");
mysqli_close($con);
?>

Answer 1

your query is wrong
This one
$sql="UPDATE users SET `firstname`='$firstname', `lastname` = '$lastname',`number`='$number', `email` = '$email',`addressone`='$addressone', `addresstwo` = '$addresstwo',`city`='$city', `state` = '$state', `zip` = '$zip' WHERE `id`='" .$_SESSION['id']."'";
remove ``
its should be like this
$sql="UPDATE users SET firstname='$firstname', lastname = '$lastname',number='$number', email = '$email',addressone='$addressone', addresstwo= '$addresstwo',`city`='$city', state = '$state', zip = '$zip' WHERE id='" .$_SESSION['id']."'";
