Ok i really need help with this cause i'm loosing my mind.
Im not a coder and i hate php but i need it on a little project.

Its got a real simple database, just 1 table with 3 fields (id,date,title).
And i need a simple php form/script so it can be updated, i searched for tutorials but there all way to complicated with user id's etc.
I dont need that, i just need a simple form that will update the fields.
I know how to connect to a database and how to print fields form a database with php, i just have no clue how i can update it with php.

So is there anyone who knows a tutorial or has a snippet that looks something like that?

Thnx in advance!

Not sure what exactly do you mean but I think you're looking for this: http://w3schools.com/php/php_mysql_update.asp

Well let me explain, its pretty simple.
I have a small database called 'news' with one table called 'ticker'.
In the table 'ticker' i have 3 fields ( id, date (VARCHAR so its just plain text) and title) en 3 rows.

My table looks like:
id date (VARCHAR) title (VARCHAR)
1 11/11/1111 test test 1
2 12/28/2010 test test 2
3 25/11/2010 test test 3

I know how to read/print it with php and that works just as i want it.
I just need to know how i can update it with a php/html form, for example i want to change 'test test 3' in 'hello world' or what ever with a php/html form.

I looked at several tutorials but most are not what i am looking for, to complicated with user id's and login sessions etc, i dont need all that.
I found one that is looking something what i need but that one doesn't work for me: http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/phpmysql/7
At least i cant get it to work.

Have a look at this page: http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=83422

I'm still learning PHP too but I'm sure I or someone else can help you when you get any errors in your script. Try to build something up so we can correct your code errors.

Simply get your data from the html form
$title = $_POST['title'];
$oldtitle = "test test 2";

Then use a normal mysql_update.

IE:
UPDATE ticker SET title = '$title' where title = '$oldtitle' LIMIT 1


tizag.com have some great tutorials to do this ( shouldnt take long to worth through them )

Thanks guys, that was just what i was searching for.

"UPDATE ticker SET title = '$title' where title = '$oldtitle' LIMIT 1"

That works like a charm, i gave me the little push i needed to resolve my problem.
Thanks again and this thread can be closed, my problem is solved.
