Answer 1

Use a correct mysqli syntax. here an example

<?php
$con=mysqli_connect("example.com","peter","abc123","my_db");
// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
  {
  echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
  }

mysqli_query($con,"UPDATE Persons SET Age=36
WHERE FirstName='Peter' AND LastName='Griffin'");

mysqli_close($con);
?>

And fix you query

 WEHER id='$id'";

by

WHERE id='$id'"

Answer 2

$sql="UPDATE contactus SET address = '$address' , pincode = '$pincode' , phone = '$phone' , email = '$email' WEHER id='$id'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
if (!$result)
{
    die('Error: '. mysqli_error());

}

should be

$sql="UPDATE contactus SET address = '$address' , pincode = '$pincode' , phone = '$phone' , email = '$email' WHERE id='$id'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
if (!$result)
{
    die('Error: '. mysql_error());

}

Answer 3

The WHERE is spelt incorrectly as WEHER :

Try this

$sql="UPDATE contactus SET address = '$address' , pincode = '$pincode' , phone = '$phone' , email = '$email' WHERE id='$id'";

Answer 4

Are you passing the "link identifier" parameter in mysql_query function?

resource mysql_query ( string $query [, resource $link_identifier = NULL ] )

i know is not mandatory, but you are executing query with mysql_query, getting the error with mysqli, dbconfig we cannot see it. So is difficult to guess.
