I'm having a REALLY hard time with something that's probably easy to do (for
someone :-)...
Normally, to perform an update on a table with data from a submitted form, I
would use something like:
$sql = UPDATE $table SET pet='$pet', name='$name' WHERE id=$id;
$result = mysql_query($sql);
| But here's what I want to do now: I want to use the same two
| lines of code for any possible form data that might be submitted
mysql_list_fields retrieves all field names of $table;
with that you can build your SET-clause for the query.
something like:
$fields =
];
$comma = ,;
}
$sql = UPDATE $table $set_clause WHERE id=$id;
