need help in update query

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

i create a form for update. there are 8 columns in my mysql table. on my main page all the data is retrieve from db and displayed on the page. after every row there is a link edit. when user click that link it goes to a form where all the required fields are displayed. the user may only change one column or two. so my question is how we will know in website which column is to be updated. ofcourse we know the column with modified value will have to be change in db but how we can implement this in php.

Code: [Select]<form name="form1" method="post" action="jobsReview.php">

</tr>
</table>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</form>

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$id = $_GET["id"];
$db = mysql_connect("localhost");
mysql_select_db("jobolicious", $db);
$quizquery = "UPDATE jobs_uni SET column='{$data}' WHERE id='{$id}'" or die(mysql_error());
//echo $query;
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
}
?>
