I hope someone has an example or suggestion. Using Znolk, I SELECT from a table and the list is viewed. However, I would like to choose certain records (mark them from the viewed list) and then change a variable of only the marked records to a single new value. The new and old variable values are finite, they could come from a pull down list. So the idea would be to show the list from SELECT, but have an pull-down menu of new values at the top of the page that should be replaced for the variable to edit. The user would choose the new value from the pull-down and then go down the page and mark each record for which that value would be UPDATEed in the table Once this is done the values would be passed back to sql and UPDATE used to replace the old values. I'm not quite sure how to do this either. Do you have a loop, where inside the loop the UPDATE is goes through each marked record, or do you loop inside the UPDATE tablename set variable=newvalue where ----loop here with or's------ Any suggestions or similar examples would be appreciated.
