Hi all,

another newbie question....

I have a recordset from mysql - a list of 20 or so  products...


1 - I would like create an edit form to loop through the records and edit a text field called 'favorite' for each of the records - (this, I have done)...

2 - then I would like to submit the form and update all records favorite field at once...

Q: so how do I create the form and response page so that I can update all 20?

I'm sure it involves numbering the form names like:

$c = 1 - then increment counter

<input name ="favorite<?php echo $c; ?>"  ...   (1 - text)
<input name ="favorite<?php echo $c; ?>"  ...     (2 - text)
<input name ="favorite<?php echo $c; ?>"  ...     (3 - text)
<input name ="favorite<?php echo $c; ?>"  ...     (4 - text)



...not sure how to loop thru these on the response / update page to get them updating correctly....
