With the query below, I am trying to overwrite the 10th field in a MySQL table called “login” with the value NEW_VALUE. It’s not working. Is the code below the correct method for overwriting existing data in a MySQL table?

Thanks in advance,

John

INSERT INTO login VALUES (NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, 'NEW_VALUE', NULL, NULL, NULL)

    No your code is not correct. You are adding a new row to your table not updating existing values. To update existing values, you want to use an update statement:

    Upate a specific record

    mysql_query("Update login SET nameOfYourColumn = '$cleanURL' WHERE primaryKey = idOfRowToUpdate")

    To update the entire table

    mysql_query("Update login SET nameOfYourColumn = '$cleanURL'")
