hi im working on a site as a hobby [http://zaxza.awardspace.com/seocial/status.php?id=1](http://zaxza.awardspace.com/seocial/status.php?id=1)  
at the moment the ajax works fine but im having problems with the php

```php
<?php
      include("[connection page]");
      if (isset($_GET['inputText']))
      if ($_GET['inputText'] == ""){
      echo ("What are you up to?");
      }
      else{
      $id = "1"
      echo ($_GET['inputText']);
      mysql_query("UPDATE users SET status = '$_GET[inputText]' WHERE id = '$id' LIMIT 1");
      }
      ?>

```

can anyone see a flaw im not seeing? any help would be greatly appreciated.  
thanks
