I have never used PHP to update a value in a data table; so, I'm not certain where to start or where to place the code. I need to update the value of a field called "status" in a data table called "Quotes_new.dbf". On an HTML page the user must decide between asking for an insurance policy to be bound, be put on hold or be declined (three submit buttons). If the user selects having the submission put on hold the action related to the button press posts to a PHP page that sends an email and returns the user to the main menu. Unfortunately, users are simply breaking out of the program rather than returning to the main menu. So I need to save the status change (from "COMPLETE" to "PENDING") either on the sending page or on the response page that follows. Can anyone step me through how I would accomplish this?

Heya, AndersonD.

Fortunately, PHP has a professional-grade DBase extension (PHP: dBase - Manual).
