Re: [PHP-DB] Updating multilple tables?

[Miles Thompson]

If you are searching in the same field (column) in each table, and the key 
field has the same name in all tables, build an array of table names and 
loop through it, executing your update on each iteration.

PS From your description it sounds as if you have a database design problem 
- common blocks of text are normally stored in some type of lookup table.

All the tables are on the same database, so I just need to say, search ALL
tables within database
