$connect = mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass");
mysql_select_db("test");

for($i=1; $i<count($screenname); $i++) {
//$imscreenname = $_POST['screenname'][$i];
//$imname = $_POST['name'][$i];
//echo $imscreename;
//$imscreenname = $screenname[$i];
$screennamesave = "UPDATE contacts SET name='$screenname', im='$name' WHERE userid='1'" or die(mysql_error());
$result = mysql_query($screennamesave);

echo $screennamesave;
}
?>
