Inserting data in mysql database with php

Question

I am trying to insert data in existing row i know how to fill table using php code like this:

"INSERT INTO table (name, email, surname)VALUES('{$name}','{$email}','{$surname}')";

And my situation is that once i create it i want to add more extra info for the specific name. For example if i have created row in table in the name Josh and later i want to add his phone number. Basically my question is how can i edit table row once it is created? How can i add this extra info?

Answer 1

you need update statement, look at syntax

UPDATE table
SET phone_number=value, ...
WHERE name="Josh" 

but you need to have created such column in your table
