Multiple updates in one mysql_query()... How can it be done??!

[ChrisDarl]

Hi guys,

 

I'm trying to update multiple rows in my database.... this is what i've tried

 

mysql_query("update [fields and values to update; update [fields and values to update]");

 

but it comes up with errors, am i just going to have to split them up to seperate mysql_query()'s or is there a work around?

 

Idealy i would like to do it in the one query because i want to return the number of rows effected.

 

 

Thanks in advance

Chris

I think you'll have to do several queries - but then you can just add up the numbers to get the total.
