Basic MySQL Error using UPDATE query

Question

I have no idea what I've done wrong, I've tried a lot of different things so far, reworking the statement, etc, but nothing seems to work.

I'm getting this error:

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 'SET content='this is content', active='1' WHERE id='1'' at line 1

And this is the query I'm using:

UPDATE Pages SET title='$title', SET content='$content', active='$active' WHERE id='$id'

I've checked to make sure that it's not what's being inserted that is the problem.

Delete the second SET into your query.

You have:

SET title='$title', SET content='$content'
