Updating Multiple Rows in MySQL using PHP

Submitted by admin on Monday, October 3, 2011 - 11:54.

There are so many tutorials on how to update one (1) record at a time. But only few tutorial on how to update multiple rows at once. I dedicate this tutorial to my 3rd year students. Save the following code as select.php:
".mysql_error()); $i = 0; echo ''; echo ''; echo ''; echo ''; echo ''; echo ''; echo "\n"; while ($students = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo ''; echo ""; echo ""; echo ""; echo ''; ++$i; } echo ''; echo ""; echo ''; echo ""; echo '

ID	Name	Address
{$students['id']}	{$students['name']}

'; ?> Save the following code as update.php:
Updated!

"; ++$i; } ?> Import the SQL Statement into your database called "students" using PHPMyAdmin included in the zip file.
