glennn.php Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 not sure how to describe this... having multiple rows of items, prices, i want to build a single form with which my client can change a number of prices where there would be a column of part nos along with their respective price fields, populated, so that he can change any number of them. i can get the values from the db and print them out into such a form, but i don't know exactly how to build the UPDATE query... does that make sense? thanks for your help. gn Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/208490-um-help-update-a-value-in-multiple-rows/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
timvdalen Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Create an array of rowid's that need to be edited foreach($needtobeedited as $id){ UPDATE `table`(`col1`,`col2`,`col3`) VALUES('1','2','3') WHERE `id`='$id' } Or, if it's a fixed numer: UPDATE `table`(`col1`,`col2`,`col3`) VALUES('1','2','3') WHERE `id`='1' OR `id`='2' OR `id`='3' Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/208490-um-help-update-a-value-in-multiple-rows/#findComment-1089537 Share on other sites More sharing options...

timvdalen Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 No biggie. Please mark this topic as solved, and for future reference, leaving the 'um... help' part out would make your title way better.
