Question

I have a table called tblActivities. There are two fields ID and Attendees.

ID       Attendees
1        Jon Jhonson
2        Ive Iveson

Which PHP function or MySQL statement do I need to use to get to this result:

ID       Attendees
1        Jon Jhonson, Ive Iveson, Adam Adamer
2        Ive Iveson

In other words, how can I add new data to existing data in my database?

Answer 1

You need something like:

UPDATE tblActivities
SET Attendees = CONCAT(Attendees, "Ive Iveson, Adam Adamer")
WHERE id = 1;

But maybe you should change the database layout. It is preferable to have only one value in one field. You could find more information under http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_normalization.
