need sql query to update columns

[satyasampan]

columns in my table are rollnum name surname father mobilenum address
rollnum is primary key
nee sql query to update details in a php form... please give syntax... thanks in advance

here it is:

update <table name>
set <column name>=<text to change>
[, <column name>=<text to change>,...]
where rollnum=<roll number to change data>

in box brackets is optional. if you need to update more than one column than you have to use that part without box bracket separating comma(,)'s each.

hope works for you. :)

i have to submit them using a form but not directly to database

[ariful alam]

yea. you have to just create a HTML form that takes input those required data and post using <form>'s post or get method to a PHP page like that code above linked by clicking on submit button. After a successful/failed update query to database it will show you a message.

Here is another example for you, what i described in post#6, before this post#7.
