Any ideas anyone? ??? Thanks Ben

Sorry to push you even more, but what would you suggest I change it to? I'm guessing I would need somthing to tell the UPDATE function that checked = 1 and unchecked = 0 ??? But I'm not so sure how to code that... Thanks in advance, Ben

Thanks for the speedy reply, If I set the value of the checkbox array to the id (presumably by using <? echo $rows['id']; ?> in the "value") will the UPDATE section need to change from: <?php // Check if button name "Submit" is active, do this if($Submit){ for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++){ $sql1="UPDATE $tbl_name SET name='$name[$i]', lastname='$lastname[$i]', email='$email[$i]', ONOFF='$ONOFF[$i]' WHERE id='$id[$i]'"; $result1=mysql_query($sql1); } } if($result1){ header("location:update_multiple.php"); } mysql_close(); ?> Thanks, Ben

Hi there, I have successfully setup a page using a tutorial (shown http://www.phpeasystep.com/mysql/10.html) It's all working fine as it stands. I have now added another column to the database that can either be 1 or 0 and I would like to be able to change it on the update page using a checkbox for each record. The code I tried was as follows: <strong>Update multiple rows in mysql</strong><br> <?php $host="localhost"; // Host name $username=""; // Mysql username $password=""; // Mysql password $db_name="test"; // Database name $tbl_name="test_mysql"; // Table name // Connect to server and select databse. mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB"); $sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name"; $result=mysql_query($sql); // Count table rows $count=mysql_num_rows($result); ?> <table width="500" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0"> <form name="form1" method="post" action=""> <tr> <td> <table width="500" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td align="center"><strong>Id</strong></td> <td align="center"><strong>Name</strong></td> <td align="center"><strong>Lastname</strong></td> <td align="center"><strong>Email</strong></td> <td align="center"><strong>On / Off</strong></td> </tr> <?php while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($result)){ ?> <tr> <td align="center"><? $id[]=$rows['id']; ?><? echo $rows['id']; ?></td> <td align="center"><input name="name[]" type="text" id="name" value="<? echo $rows['name']; ?>"></td> <td align="center"><input name="lastname[]" type="text" id="lastname" value="<? echo $rows['lastname']; ?>"></td> <td align="center"><input name="email[]" type="text" id="email" value="<? echo $rows['email']; ?>"></td> <td align="center"><input name="ONOFF[]" type="checkbox" id="ONOFF" value="1" <?php if ($rows['ONOFF'] ==1) { echo "checked";} else {} ?> ></td> </tr> <?php } ?> <tr> <td colspan="4" align="center"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </form> </table> <?php // Check if button name "Submit" is active, do this if($Submit){ for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++){ $sql1="UPDATE $tbl_name SET name='$name[$i]', lastname='$lastname[$i]', email='$email[$i]', ONOFF='$ONOFF[$i]' WHERE id='$id[$i]'"; $result1=mysql_query($sql1); } } if($result1){ header("location:update_multiple.php"); } mysql_close(); ?> What happens is weird - no matter which checkboxes are ticked, the database appears to update the wrong records. For example, if I had checked every other record (4 in total) and clicked submit, the database would have simply changed the top four records, not necessarily the ones I had originally selected. Any ideas?! ??? Thanks, Ben
