Re: [PHP-DB] Updating multilple tables?
In MySQL: UPDATE mytable SETmycol = REPLACE( mycol, $replacee, $replaceor ) All you have to do is provide the loop some structure so that it can find the column to process eg an array( "table" => array( "column1", ... ) ) or even better another table.

Re: [PHP-DB] Updating multilple tables?
All good, I've got a loop based on all my tables... (cheers for that) however, I still wanna look within an entry for a smaller entry.. EG: "the quick brown frog jumped over the lazy dog" I want to find and repace "frog" with "fox" but do this happens with text all over my database.

Re: [PHP-DB] Updating multilple tables?
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. Regards - Miles Thompson 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.

I've searched n google for "mysql multiple table update" But have yet to find an answer.. anyone know an easy way to do this? All the tables are on the same database, so I just need to say, search ALL tables within database Tris...? -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
