Ferindo, I had a similar task recently, and the problem you'll run
into is that you can't select from and update the same table at once.
What I ended up doing was doing a SELECT to build the update queries

Something like this:
SELECT CONCAT(
UPDATE bowler_score SET email_address = ',
Thanks Dan. This does help. This a pretty straight-forward idea. I could
even save the results of this query to a text file and possibly review it a

could see the impact this would have on the data before applying it. I
Good call on the WHERE email_address IS NULL thing. Also occurs to me

You're not testing the result from mysql_query() to see whether not
it succeeds. Do so, and they print the result from mysql_error()
in the event of failure to see what it says.
