I’m trying to update multiple rows that all share the same field names.

The structure is like:

+---+-------+--------+
|id | name  | value  |
+---+-------+--------+
| 1 | color | red    |
| 2 | fruit | apple  |
| 3 | day   | friday |
+---+-------+--------+

So, something like :

$config_data = "UPDATE system_config SET color = '$_POST[color]', fruit = '$_POST[fruit]', day = '$_POST[day]'";

$success = mysql_query($config_data);

… will not work. How would I perform this query?

    Try

    $config_data = "UPDATE system_config SET value = '$_POST[color]' WHERE name = 'color';";
$success = mysql_query($config_data);
$config_data = "UPDATE system_config SET value = '$_POST[fruit]' WHERE name = 'fruit';";
$success = mysql_query($config_data);
$config_data = "UPDATE system_config SET value = '$_POST[day]' WHERE name = 'day'";
$success = mysql_query($config_data);

    instead.It’s necessary to put in more queries in this case
