session_start();
include ('connect.php');

if (isset($_POST["submit"])){
	
	$_SESSION['u_name']=$user;

      $user  = $_POST['u_name'];
	  $first  =$_POST['f_name'];
	  $last  = $_POST['l_name'];
	  $birth   = $_POST['DOB'];
	  $sex        = $_POST['gender'];

$sql= ("UPDATE user_accounts SET username = '$user', firstname = '$first', lastname = '$last', birthday = '$birth', gender = '$sex', address = '$addres', password = '$pass', confirm_password = '$conpass', email_address = '$eaddress' WHERE user_id = '$_SESSION['u_name']'");																																											

mysql_query($sql);

if mysql_query($sql){
	echo "Your account have successfully been updated";
}ELSE{
     echo "There was an error updating ur account.<br>Please contact site admin";
       }
  
    }
  
  }

PHP:

 

Its because of the way you are including the session variable in the update line.

$sql= ("UPDATE user_accounts SET username = '$user', firstname = '$first', lastname = '$last', birthday = '$birth', gender = '$sex', address = '$addres', password = '$pass', confirm_password = '$conpass', email_address = '$eaddress' WHERE user_id = '{$_SESSION['u_name']}'");

PHP:

You will also need to change this line as so;

if (mysql_query($sql)){

PHP:

and you appear to have one too many closing braces at the end.
