Update Mysql Database Without Replacing?
what I want to do is ADD TO the existing data in a row. From what I know, I have to fetch the data first, then take it and add the extra piece, and add it back in. That way, I end up with two queries...is there any way to do it with just one query?

Update A Database Based On Another Database
I need to update a database based on another database. I can already run the php code to make the update file, but I have to remove an 'or' option at the end. This is what i have: PHP Code: <?php require("db_info.php"); $db=@mysql_connect("$host", "$dbuser", "$dbpass"); @mysql_select_db("$dbname"); echo("update phpbb_users set user_active="0" where"); $result=@mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE disable=1 ORDER BY rank DESC, myname"); while($row=@mysql_fetch_array($result)) echo(" username="$row[myname]" or "); ?> I realize that i'd have to open the other database up, but I'm not sure if I have to close the first db's connection before i open the second database up.

Offline Update To Database
We have a web page where they can enter sales call information. They want to be able to enter this information at any time, while in the car, at home etc. What would be the best way to have information entered offline, then when they get connected to our intranet it would sync or upload all their data ? I thought about creating some type of web page, that would write the information out to a file. Then they would have a "sync" button or something on the intranet web page that would read this file in.

Update Database Program
i need to design a small program that runs on computers and every few seconds sends a packet to a server, which tells the server information, such as the computer's IP or the time of the day etc. I also need to design a program on the server's side that knows how to accept this information and communicate that information with a PHP file or inserts the information into a mysql database. E.g. let's say someone isn't at home and wants to check the amount of hd space they have on their computer at home. Since their own computer continually updates the server with information, the person can just log onto the server to check this. I would relaly appreciate it if someone could tell me how to do this, and which programming language should i use to create the server and client programs? Would it be c++?

Counting Field And Update Database
I was trying hard to alter an existing script ut I didn't succeed to... I have 2 databases: - Categories (catid, shortname, description) - Transactions (date, amount, balance, user) in the categories I have 9 categories. the script displays the categories as checkboxes to choose from. I want to add the following functionality: If I select for example 3 categories, I would like to know how can I count the selected checkboxes and based on the count update the transactions database: in another way: if count=3 => add amount x 3 to the transactions database so if a user select 4 categories I update the transaction database with $5 x 4 categories and then we will get a balance of $20 for the choosen categories.

Update Multiple Database Entries
I want to make a quick to-do list script. I can handle entering the info, etc. What I have a question about is when I go and view the list of to-do items, once they are complete, I want to be able to mark them "Done" So I'd have a list of all the items and a checkbox for each item. If 3 of 10 are done, I'd select the checkbox for those three, click the submit button and I'd like it to update one field for each entry. So, I'd have todo_ID, todo_DONE and want to UPDATE todo_list SET todo_DONE = 1 WHERE todo_ID = '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['todo_ID'])."' My question is how can I do this for multiple entries all at once?

Using Checkboxes To Update Multiple Database Entries
I have a query that shows a list of options that a user can toggle on or off using a checkbox. query... form... while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))... <input name="menu_show_attribute[]" type="checkbox" class="checkbox"'); if ($row['menu_show_attribute'] == 1) { echo (' value="'.$row[menu_id].'" checked /> } else { echo (' value="'.$row[menu_id].'" />'); } The list is generated from boolean values in a DB. This populates my form with checkboxes, some are checked and others are not. I'm using an if statement to sort it (checked). This works fine. The problem is when the user un-checks a checkbox, the value does not get passed and the DB does not update - set/change it to 0. The only values that get passed are the checkboxes that are checked. Below is the query / code after the submit button has been pressed. Are radio buttons the answer? Any help / suggestions would be very much appreciated. //process form for ($i = 0; $i < count($menu_show_attribute); $i++) { if (isset($menu_id) == 'checked') { $menu_show_attribute = 1; } elseif ($menu_show_attribute != 'checked') { $menu_show_attribute = 0; } $query = 'UPDATE menu SET menu_show_attribute = "'. $menu_show_attribute.'"

Update Database Based On Modified Fields
I have a php page that retrieves entries from a mysql database and puts the data back in their corresponding fields. I would also like to offer the option of updating the database within this page. What I'm thinking is that whenever the user modifies a field, the value is then updated in the database. What I'm concerned with is the time it will take to update the database if I use many select and update commands. Is there a smart way to detect which fields were modified and then only update the fields that have changed using some php coding and not javascript. Or only doing an UPDATE command will be the best way to do it.
