    <p>I am having some problems with a script, I am basically inputting data into a MySQL table. This data will be inserted in the table as 1 row. </p> <p>Upon a row of data being entered into the table I want the current/specific row currently being entered to have the column 'account_type' to be updated from its default value 'member' to 'client'.</p> <p>It's a long story why I need to do it this way but I do not want to simply just enter the value 'client' it must be updated from 'member' to client.</p> <p>The script I have (which is the bit at the bottom) is currently doing just this but it is affecting all rows in the table, is there a way I can add a where clause to the update to say only affect the current row being entered and do not update all other rows in the table?</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php ob_start(); // CONNECT TO THE DATABASE require('../../includes/_config/connection.php'); // LOAD FUNCTIONS require('../../includes/functions.php'); $username = $_POST['username']; $password = $_POST['password']; $firstname = $_POST['firstname']; $lastname = $_POST['lastname']; $email = $_POST['email']; $number = $_POST['number']; $dob = $_POST['dob']; $accounttype = $_POST['accounttype']; $query="INSERT INTO ptb_registrations ( username, password, firstname, lastname, email, number, dob, accounttype, date_created ) VALUES( '".$username."', '".$password."', '".$firstname."', '".$lastname."', '".$email."', '".$number."', '".$dob."', '".$accounttype."', now() )"; mysql_query($query) or die(); $query="INSERT INTO ptb_users ( first_name, last_name, email, password ) VALUES( '".$firstname."', '".$lastname."', '".$email."', MD5('".$password."') )"; mysql_query($query) or dieerr(); $result = mysql_query("UPDATE ptb_users SET ptb_users.user_id = ptb_users.id, ptb_users.account_type = 'Client'"); </code></pre>

    1. COThere are a lot of code -would be useful to highlight the important one-. Anyway, if you just want to update a record, what about `UPDATE ... WHERE ...`?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
