The MySQL UPDATE query is used to update existing records in a table in a MySQL database.

  • It can be used to update one or more field at the same time.
  • It can be used to specify any condition using the WHERE clause.


  • Syntax :
    The basic syntax of the Update Query is –

    Implementation of Where Update Query :

    Let us consider the following table “Data” with four columns ‘ID’, ‘FirstName’, ‘LastName’ and ‘Age’.

    To update the “Age” of a person whose “ID” is 201 in the “Data” table, we can use the following code :

    Update Query using Procedural Method :




    <?php
    $link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "Mydb");
      
    if($link === false){
        die("ERROR: Could not connect. " 
                    . mysqli_connect_error());
    }
      
    $sql = "UPDATE data SET Age='28' WHERE id=201";
    if(mysqli_query($link, $sql)){
        echo "Record was updated successfully.";
    } else {
        echo "ERROR: Could not able to execute $sql. " 
                                . mysqli_error($link);
    mysqli_close($link);
    ?>

    
    

    Output :

    if($mysqli === false){
        die("ERROR: Could not connect. "
                . $mysqli->connect_error);
    }
      
    $sql = "UPDATE data SET Age='28' WHERE id=201";
    if($mysqli->query($sql) === true){
        echo "Records was updated successfully.";
    } else{
        echo "ERROR: Could not able to execute $sql. " 
                                            . $mysqli->error;
    }
    $mysqli->close();
    ?>

        $pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, 
                            PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
    } catch(PDOException $e){
        die("ERROR: Could not connect. " 
                        . $e->getMessage());
    }
      
    try{
        $sql = "UPDATE data SET Age='28' WHERE id=201";
        $pdo->exec($sql);
        echo "Records was updated successfully.";
    } catch(PDOException $e){
        die("ERROR: Could not able to execute $sql. "
                                    . $e->getMessage());
    }
    unset($pdo);
    ?>
