Update table when button is clicked

[apenster]

I have this problem. I want to have a button, not a submit button, but just a regular button. Then, when it is clicked, the table must be updated with new values that are supplied in the form.

How to do it? like: onClick="mysql_query("Update....."> or something?

Thanks is advance!

You can't without having that button submit those values to the server.

So, you say, there is no other way to update the table with input type=button, except by using input type=submit??? correct?

No, you could use input type of button, but you'd have to find a way to get the variables to the server. Be it form submition, opening a new window, whatever. The server can't do the update until you tell it what it update, and a button click is client side, not server side. The server has no way to know if some random button has been clicked on a users browser.
