Germaris Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hi there! I wish to update the content of a field but WITHOUT erasing its existing content. New content needs to be added to the existing one. Each chunk separated by a line break. How should I write the query? Many thanks in advance for any help!

NArc0t1c Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 mysql_query("UPDATE table SET field=field.$other"); Not quite sure if that will work but you could try.
