Making an update query that adapts to the number of fields that are to be
updated
Is there anyway to do like a for loop to create the values part of the query
then combine it with the first part of the string.
something like what i have below... although something that works correctly
as this doesn't.
======================================
$table is the table name
$num_headers is the number of headers (fieldnames) for that table
$table_headers is an array with the names of the headers
$values is an array with the names of the input boxes on the previous page
======================================
$query1 = "UPDATE ".$table." SET " ;
$query2 = ( for ($x=0; $x <=$num_headers; $x++){
". $table_headers[$x] . "=" . $values[$x] . " , "
}) ;
$query = $query1.$query2 ;
$result = mysql_query ($query) ;
etc...
