That the thing see, the form(using GET instead of POST) sends data with the new dates like this:-
id=1&name=Mark&job_number=AA1&job_date=2002-5-19 &id=2&name=Mark&job_number=AA2&job_date=2002-5-21 &id=3&name=Mark&job_number=AA3&job_date=2002-5-25 and the UPDATE query like this:- > $sql = "UPDATE mytable set job_date='$job_date' where job_number > ='$job_number'"; > $result = @mysql_query($sql, $connection) or die.....; just updates the last record. Can the query be written so that it updates each of the three records? cheers Mark On Mon, 15 Apr 2002, Joseph Jude wrote: > Are you sure job_number in your script equals to all the three records and not just >one record? > > > ----------------------------------------- > Joseph Jude > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Mark Dale > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 6:33 AM > Subject: Multiple updates > > > > I'm now trying to UPDATE the three records with one query. > > Once the data is INSERTED into the db with this - > > insert into mytable (id,name,job_number,job_date) values > ('1','Mark','AA1','2002-04-15'), > ('2','Mark','AA2','2002-04-16'), > ('3','Mark','AA3','2002-04-17'); > > a form page is displayed where all the job_dates can be changed (updated). > > I'm using this to update - > > $sql = "UPDATE mytable set job_date='$job_date' where job_number > ='$job_number'"; > $result = @mysql_query($sql, $connection) or die.....; > > and it only changes the last record.
