Re: Using arrays to take records from a html table and update database

Posted by Ian Davies on 07/27/06 08:53

Hi
I am trying to amend three fields all one text and two integer
In my original code you will see what I mean
The values for the text field would come from a textarea in one column of
the table and the values for the two integer fields would come from a
dropdown list and a tick box which are in the other columns.
