Hi Bob First you would need a means of identifying your oldest entry, some kind of Date-Time field would seem simplest. Then, one way, would be to SELECT the oldest value and use it in the 'where' clause of an UPDATE.
SELECT MIN(stamp) FROM table; will get the oldest date-time value and UPDATE table SET stamp = '$NewStamp', col2 = $col2 WHERE stamp = '$Oldest;; would update the entry. Apologies for the sparse code snippets, but I'm in a hurry and don't have time to write the full PHP for the queries.
