<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "myDB";

// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
} 

$sql = "UPDATE MyGuests SET lastname='Doe' WHERE id=2";

if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
    // if all ok, redirecting
    header("Location: http://example.com/myOtherPage.php");
    die();
} else {
    echo "Error updating record: " . $conn->error;
}

$conn->close();
?>
