ukscotth Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hi, I have a database table which is full of paths to pictures e.g /pictures/12313213.jpg /pictures/35423454.jpg Id like to change all the data to a longer path, basically i need to add some text to the beginning of every entry so the table contains things like this instead : http://www.blahblah.com/pictures/12313213.jpg http://www.blahblah.com/pictures/35423454.jpg Can someone show me how plzzzzz ? thanks very much.

premiso Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 As long as the first path is the same a simple update in phpMyAdmin will work using this SQL: UPDATE table_name SET column_name = CONCAT('http://www.blahblah.com', column_name) That should work, I have never done it so I could be wrong... I would do a test on one table element first by adding a WHERE clause to that so you do not screw up your whole table (or backup for table).
