$query="UPDATE americana SET `7`='99' WHERE Bdate='2011-04-15'";
mysql_query($query);

The query should be enclosed in quotes and also marked column name with backtick(`)sign if it has name with starting from numeric value, try it now and see if it works better now...

the query is in quotes and i added the backtick it doesn't work
this is the error message that i'm getting: Database query faild: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''7'='99' WHERE 'Bdate'='2011-04-15'' at line 1
Actually u have not added a backtick but u have added a single quote which u can see in error massage here :- '7'='99'
