Subject: RE: replace string


I want to replace part of a string with something else.  I have a table
called favorites.  This can be done by someone who logs in on the browser
with email and password.  I'm using php in a web page.  Do I use the
following syntax:

$query_del = "UPDATE favorites
REPLACE(favorites,'BitOfStringToReplace','NewBitOfString') WHERE
email='$email' AND password =  '$pw'";

It's the use of UPDATE ... REPLACE together that I'm not sure of.  UPDATE
normally goes with SET.

Thanks,

John
