It's just like a SELECT, only you send an UPDATE query.
$query = "select * from people";
$people = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
.
.
.
$query = "update people set name = 'Fred' where lastname = 'Flintstone'";
mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
You can send *ANY* query to the database, not just SELECT.
UPDATE, INPUT, DROP, ALTER TABLE, whatever you can dream up that your
database will allow you to do.
