$sql = "UPDATE people
                SET
                 people_fullname = '$_POST[$people_fullname]'
                WHERE
                  people_id = '$_GET[$id]'
Try to write string variable in one line. you might have pressed enter key in between. so try following.

$sql = "UPDATE people SET people_fullname = '$_POST[$people_fullname]' WHERE people_id = '$_GET[$id]'";
or
$sql = "UPDATE people";
$sql .=" SET";
$sql .=" people_fullname = '$_POST[$people_fullname]'";
$sql .=" WHERE";
$sql .=" people_id = '$_GET[$id]'";
