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

Posted by Ian Davies on 07/27/06 12:56

Hello
That is correct. also comment is a textarea. and a hidden field to contain
the index of each row to use to update the correct record in the subsequent
sql statement.

Is your solution somehow based on creating an array from each of the
elements.
The solution i was trying to do was to get 4 arrays and somehow use them in
a loop with an sql update. But Im lost as to how to create and use the
arrays appropriately

Cheers
Ian
also I greatly appreciate your assistance
