INSERT & UPDATE issue with PDO PHP Mysql

Question

I'm a student new to PHP and I have been trying to find a solution for this problem for days. Found all sorts of answers but I don't seem to find something for my exact issue.

I am creating an admin page for a football association as part of my assignment. All is going well until I'm trying to update scores (I re-started them with zero). I get a successful message but the DB is not up updated.

So I tried inserting the score instead, as part of a new fixture, everything else updated but the scores. So I know it's the scores the problem but I don't know why. I made them NOT NULL and then NULL to see if that was the problem, to no avail.

I had initially populated some of the fixtures with scores but after "updating" all of them became either zero or NULL as per the change above.

What am I doing wrong?

       if (isset($_POST["Update"])) {
       updateScore($_POST["FixtureID"]);
    }
    function updateScore($FixtureID) {
       try {
          $conn = new PDO("mysql:host=" . $GLOBALS['servername'] . ";dbname=e0912343_Fixtures", GLOBALS['username'], $GLOBALS['password']);
          $conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
    
          $statement = $conn->prepare("
    UPDATE Fixtures f
         , Scores s 
       SET f.WeekNo = :WeekNo
         , f.Fixture_Date = :Fixture_Date
         , f.HomeTeam = :HomeTeam
         , f.AwayTeam = :AwayTeam
         , s.HT_score = :HT_score
         , s.AT_score = :AT_score

          $statement->bindValue(":WeekNo", $_POST["WeekNo"]);

Answer 1

In your form you use Home_Team_Score and Away_Team_Score , but after posting these become $_POST["HT_score"] and $_POST["AT_score"] .

These are clearly not the same, and therefore it cannot work.
