How do I submit to script?

[Anon]

Hello,

I have a form which submits one variable to a script and returns the results to the browser.

I need to submit approx. 8000 entries to the same script. The entries (names) are stored in a MySQL db (1 column). The results will not be published to a browser..instead will be updated in the database which I can do now...just not sure on how to automate the submission process to the script...loops?

Any suggestions?

Pass things from a database, through a form, one by one and then store them again? Oh the pain...

If you already have a script that does whatever the processing is, then modifying it to a somewhat less insane approach shouldn't be very hard.

Very down-to-business approach, no finesse:

1) Do something like this to process the query:
while($array = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query(select blah...)) {
$result[] = $array[0] * 2;
}
2) Store the $result back to the database using foreach.
