Question

How do you update a database with new info but keep old info aswell?

My aim is to have a favorites button that when clicked it will add the item id to a members favorites list so they could call something like fav.php?fav=janedoe and their favorites list be listed.

I know how to add the button and get the item id from database I just really need the mysql query I would run to update aswell as what the “type” would be when creating the database column I think.

info inside the row would then look like this

1,12,14,15,34,46,74

then if member wanted to add item 98 it would update to

1,12,14,15,34,46,74,98

adding 98 to the end.

I realise this is kind of a “can you do this for me” post, but I just haven’t a clue where to start.

You should create a new table called something like:

MembersFavoritePage:

• MemberId.
• PageId.
• …

Then whenever the user mark a page as a favourite page do an insert into this table.
