You can't perform update like this.
You should loop through rows you want to update if they have different key
values.
UPDATE tbl_ib_articles SET col_name=new_value WHERE key_column=key_value;
You can change the condition part, which can include non-key columns,

Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] INSERT Question
Everything looks okay with this when I echo the sql string:
INSERT INTO tbl_ib_articles (issue_brief,article) VALUES
('24','30'),('24','20'),('24','31')
My question was, what do I need to change to make this an UPDATE?
Thanks,
Charles
