Here is the updated code for anyone looking to update their database. Thank you everyone for all your help.

<?php
  try {
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=$dbname", $username, 
 $password);
// set the PDO error mode to exception
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);

// prepare sql and bind parameters
$stmt = $conn->prepare("UPDATE test SET title=:title WHERE id=:id");
$stmt->bindParam(':title', $title);  
$stmt->bindParam(':id', $id);

// Update a row
$title = $_POST['title'];
$id = $_POST['id'];

echo "Row updated"; 
echo "<br />";
echo "<strong>$title</strong> and <strong>$id</strong>";
 }

Answer 1

Use bind_param() :

<?php
   $statement = $conn->prepare("UPDATE test SET title= ? WHERE id= ?");
   $statement->bind_param('si', $title,$id);
   $statement->execute();
   if ($statement->affected_rows >0) {
      echo "Record updated successfully";
   } else {
      echo "Error updating record: " . $conn->error;
   }
   $statement->close();
?>

You still have a bit of a mix of PDO and MySQLi although only in your call to bindParam now, which you are calling as if it was MySQLi::bind_param . Also in your last edit the query string got messed up with the addition of Values=? I'm not sure why you did that? Anyway, this should do what you want:

try {
    $conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=$dbname", $username, $password);
    // set the PDO error mode to exception
    $conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);

    // prepare sql and bind parameters
    $stmt = $conn->prepare("UPDATE test SET title=:title WHERE id=:id");
    $stmt->bindParam(':title', $title);  
    $stmt->bindParam(':id', $id);

    // Update a row
    $title = $_POST['title'];
    $stmt->execute();
    echo "Row updated";
}
catch(PDOException $e) {
    echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage();
}
$conn = null;
