Re: fetch then put record?

Hello, In ASP you can set records fields then call a dbupdate function.

There is no such function in PHP.

It appears mysql only supports update with the UPDATE query?

Huh ... MySQL is a database. It understands SQL. dbupdate() is an ASP function ... don't blame MySQL if it doesn't understand ASP ;) The only way to update data in MySQL is to use SQL, and in SQL to update data you use UPDATE queries :)

Here is my code: $dbrec=getrec($result);

This is not PHP code. There is no function called getrec(). If you want to access a MySQL database using PHP you will also need to learn SQL. You need to learn how to write SQL update queries ... I suggest that you read the PHP online manual and learn all about the MySQL functions. Read this section and then try again: http://jp.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php Jean-Christian
