Cant change column value

Alright, any column I create I can't change the value of.

First I create the table:
mysql_query("CREATE TABLE table(blank INT)") or die(mysql_error());

blank is just a temporary column since I don't know how many columns I'll be adding and you can't have an empty table.

Then I create the column:
mysql_query("ALTER TABLE table ADD COLUMN column INT") or die(mysql_error());

This works fine. At this point the column has no value.

Then I change the column value:
mysql_query("UPDATE table SET column=val") or die(mysql_error());

Now, when I check the value of that column, it shows nothing. Whats wrong?
