PHP MySQL Update
The UPDATE statement is used to modify data in a table.
Update Data In a Database
The UPDATE statement is used to update existing records in a table.
Syntax
UPDATE table_name
SET column1=value, column2=value2,...
WHERE some_column=some_value
|
Note: Notice the WHERE clause in the UPDATE syntax. The WHERE clause
specifies which record or records that should be updated. If you omit the WHERE
clause, all records will be updated!To learn more about SQL, please visit our SQL
tutorial.
To get PHP to execute the statement above we must use the mysql_query() function. This function is used to
send a query or command to a MySQL connection.
Example
Earlier in the tutorial we created a table named "Persons". Here is how it
looks:
| FirstName |
LastName |
Age |
| Peter |
Griffin |
35 |
| Glenn |
Quagmire |
33 |
The following example updates some data in the "Persons" table:
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","peter","abc123");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("my_db", $con);
mysql_query("UPDATE Persons SET Age = '36'
WHERE FirstName = 'Peter' AND LastName = 'Griffin'");
mysql_close($con);
?>
|
After the update, the "Persons" table will look like this:
| FirstName |
LastName |
Age |
| Peter |
Griffin |
36 |
| Glenn |
Quagmire |
33 |

WAPT
is a load, stress and performance testing tool for websites and web-based applications.
In contrast to "800-pound gorilla" load testing tools, it is designed to minimize the learning
curve and give you an ability to create a heavy load from a regular workstation.
WAPT is able to generate up to 3000 simultaneously acting virtual users using standard hardware configuration.
Virtual users in each profile are fully customizable. Basic and NTLM authentication methods are supported.
Graphs and reports are shown in real-time at different levels of detail, thus helping to manage the testing process.
