Hi all,
I am about to start on a script page which will loop
thru a MySQL table and update records depending on the
actions of the user.
I propose to loop through, row by row performing a
separate UPDATE statement for each row, unless someone
can advise me of a better way (2d array?).
I am migrating this site from Lasso where I needed to
to do two iterations of the script: the first handles
a single row input and the other handles multiple row
inputs. Do I need to do two with php or will one be
able to handle a count of 1 in a loop just as well as
a multiple count?
MTIA
