append text to end of all entries in mysql column

[Rasputin]

I suspect that I am missing something very obvious but I am trying to append a few words to the end of every item in a database column:

using

UPDATE j25_content SET fulltext = CONCAT(fulltext,'<p>newtext</p>')

error message is: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'fulltext,'<p>newtext</p>')

Any advice what I missed very welcome, thanks!

Is the actual column name

fulltext

? If so, take a look at the reserved words list [dev.mysql.com] and try to avoid those in the future. Meanwhile, use backticks around the column name and see if that helps:

 UPDATE `j25_content` SET `fulltext` = CONCAT(`fulltext`,'<p>newtext</p>');
