Re: [PHP-DB] how to update field without using UPDATE query? you are kidding?

2003-06-09 Thread Steve B.
Hi
in asp it lets me say 
~get a record into dbrec which is a database object.
dbrec['field1'] = 'wow'
dbrec.update;

is there no way to do this in linux?
thats lame if it is then that means my 25 web sites have to be re-written to work on 
Linux.

Okay, you're still confused. This has nothing to do with Linux. It's PHP
vs. ASP. ASP has provided you a function to use instead of making an
UPDATE query yourself. Learn some PHP so you can write your own update()
query. Don't cry because someone hasn't done it for you already.

It sounds like you are crying John.
Perhaps you know this function?
I'm trying to learn PHP holmes.
Keep the insults to yourself and help out if you know the answer.

Don't take that the wrong way. You've already posted 3-4 messages on
here complaining that PHP/Linux doesn't have a dbrec.update function. 

I am helping out and I do know the answer: create an UPDATE query. If
you have 125 fields, then, yeah, it'll be a long query. Nothing says you
have to type out the entire thing yourself, though. Loop through your
$dbrec array and create the UPDATE query...

RE: [PHP-DB] how to update field without using UPDATE query? you are kidding?

2003-06-10 Thread Mark
I assume that dbrec is an object. There are many classes you can get
in PHP that handle database management and manipulation. Check out
www.phpclasses.org. I believe everyone's frustration is that the
question was not asked properly, you confused PHP with Linux, you
insulted the OS of choice for most users here, and you use Winblows.

Just find a class that hides all the code from you so you don't have
to think about how the update works.

The you can do something like:

dbrec = new DBClass();
$dbrec->field1='wow';
$dbrec->update();
