Update WHERE field exists

fr?
Hello,

is there a way , in MySQL to do this:

i have a table with rows id,name,passwd,nickname

Check if row with `name`='harry' exists
if so, UPDATE with new data

if not, INSERT a new record

now i'm doing this with a php if else construct, but there must be an easier way
