Update Data In a MySQL Table Using MySQLi and PDO
The UPDATE statement is used to update existing records in a table:
UPDATE table_name
SET column1=value, column2=value2,...
WHERE some_column=some_value
Notice the WHERE clause in the UPDATE syntax: The WHERE clause
specifies which record or records that should be updated. If you omit the WHERE
clause, all records will be updated!

Let's look at the "MyGuests" table:
id | firstname | lastname | reg_date | |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | John | Doe | john@example.com | 2014-10-22 14:26:15 |
2 | Mary | Moe | mary@example.com | 2014-10-23 10:22:30 |
The following examples update the record with id=2 in the "MyGuests" table:
Example (MySQLi Object-oriented)
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "myDB";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error)
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
$sql = "UPDATE MyGuests SET lastname='Doe' WHERE id=2";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE)
echo "Record updated successfully";
else
echo "Error updating record: " . $conn->error;
$conn->close();
?>
<!--
mid_content, all: [300,250][336,280][728,90][970,250][970,90][320,50][468,60]-->
Example (MySQLi Procedural)
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "myDB";
// Create connection
$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if (!$conn)
die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
$sql = "UPDATE MyGuests SET lastname='Doe' WHERE id=2";
if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql))
echo "Record updated successfully";
else
echo "Error updating record: " . mysqli_error($conn);
mysqli_close($conn);
?>
Example (PDO)
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "myDBPDO";
try
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=$dbname", $username, $password);
// set the PDO error mode to exception
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
$sql = "UPDATE MyGuests SET lastname='Doe' WHERE id=2";
// Prepare statement
$stmt = $conn->prepare($sql);
// execute the query
$stmt->execute();
// echo a message to say the UPDATE succeeded
echo $stmt->rowCount() . " records UPDATED successfully";
catch(PDOException $e)
echo $sql . "<br>" . $e->getMessage();
$conn = null;
?>
After the record is updated, the table will look like this:
id | firstname | lastname | reg_date | |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | John | Doe | john@example.com | 2014-10-22 14:26:15 |
2 | Mary | Doe | mary@example.com | 2014-10-23 10:22:30 |
