updating quantity with multiple line items

[serap]

I want to update the quantity (which is a text field) of a specific item (having an item#) BUT if there a multiple rows chosen in the item list, i.e you can have 4 rows and you update the quantities on each.
How can you update the Database with a single submit button? So that the corresponding item# gets the correct quantity.

All values of the list are chosen from an sql query...

Thanks...

I think nobody really understands what you are trying to say.

OK I try again:

imagine having a dynamic list (a shopping cart)

---

item# name qty
10 a <text field>
20 b <text field>

30 c <text field>

I<submit button>I (update.php)

If you (the user ) changes the quantities for each item,
f.ex from 1 to 4, 2, 3 - and presses the 'submit button'. then my question is:
- How will you be able to update the corresponding quantities for each item?? in the DB, how do update.php know that 4 is for item#=10 etc?

Hope this is clear - Im really stuck on this....

Use hidden input fields .

yep but how, you can pass variables when you know theres 'one' value - in this case you can dynamically have a lot more and how do you know which quantity belongs to which item#
