Reading your original request a little more carefully, it appears you're really looking for a way to immediately update the database when someone changes a value in an HTML form. Ajax is necessary. Make an ajax call triggered by a change in the table's data, which sends the change as GET or POST data. Write a PHP script to accept the data and update the database. If you want all users to see the change immediately, you'll also need to create a mechanism to send any changes back to the users. My prior email is relevant for that part. Good luck. >As an ammendum to the prior response, you may want to look into using AJAX >with a streaming connection to the server.
