in reply to Mystified by why my UPDATE statement is not reflected in my database display

I haven't checked your code but 'execute' will always return a true value if it run successfully regardless if it actually updated,in this case, or not.

Most drivers will return '0E0' , and mysql's in particular, when the statement runs without errors but has updated 0 rows

so it's best to use :
if ($rv eq '0E0')
