How to replace


Folks,

I'm writing a PHP based application and I'm pretty sure I can work out
the PHP code once I have direction with MySQL.

Basically - I have a record that has a primary key - There are times
when I want to change the reflected data - which I know I can do with
UPDATE - however - it is possible that the record does not exist in
which case I'd like it created.

Thus - is there a method that allows me to either replace a record, or
insert a new one if a specified one does not already exist?

All help, via the newsgroup, is much appreciated, thanks,
