Question

I have a problem with my code. My objective is to fetch some data from database and update the database again.

while( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ) {

    if ($phpgsb->doLookup($row['origin']) === true) {           
        echo var_dump($phpgsb->doLookup($row['origin'])). " - ". $row['origin'];

mysql_connect("localhost", "ali", "password");
mysql_query("UPDATE `mydatabase`.`dns_soa` SET active='N' WHERE origin='".$row['origin']."'");

echo "<br>";
}
}

the output of echo var_dump($phpgsb->doLookup($row['origin'])). " - ". $row['origin']; is

bool(true) - hello.com.

which is weird because if I remove mysql connect code

mysql_connect("localhost", "ali", "password");
mysql_query("UPDATE `mydatabase`.`dns_soa` SET active='N' WHERE origin='".$row['origin']."'");

the correct output from database will be shown:

bool(true) - hello.com.
bool(true) - jool.com.
bool(true) - kool.com.

Se everytime I ran this code only hello.com. record will be updated in database. This is wrong. How can I get all 3 records to be updated using my UPDATE query?

Thanks in advance.

Take this line:

mysql_connect("localhost", "ali", "password");

and put it out (before) of the while loop. You don’t need to connect again and again to the db.
