mysql更新倍数为什么不起作用？ 哦，还有PHP

I don't understand why this won't work, each line one by one works but not when I join them together...

mysql_query("
 UPDATE imageProperties
  SET value='98' WHERE element='img1' AND property='left';
  SET value='67' WHERE element='img1' AND property='top';
  SET value='15' WHERE element='img1' AND property='width';
  SET value='15' WHERE element='img1' AND property='height';
  SET value='22' WHERE element='img2' AND property='left';
  SET value='49' WHERE element='img2' AND property='top';
  SET value='62' WHERE element='img2' AND property='width';
  SET value='75' WHERE element='img2' AND property='height';
");

I got the idea from the answer to this question here

try it by using CASE statment in one statment.

   UPDATE imageProperties
   SET value= CASE when element='img1' AND property='left'   then '98' 
                   when element='img1' AND property='top'    then '67'
                   when element='img1' AND property='width'  then '15'
                   when element='img1' AND property='height' then '15'
                   when element='img2' AND property='left'   then '22'
                   when element='img2' AND property='top'    then '49'
                   when element='img2' AND property='width'  then '62'
                   when element='img2' AND property='height' then '75'
               ELSE `value`
               END

You are terminating the statement with each semicolon.

This should work:

mysql_query("
 UPDATE imageProperties
  SET value='98' WHERE element='img1' AND property='left';
 UPDATE imageProperties
  SET value='67' WHERE element='img1' AND property='top';
 UPDATE imageProperties
  SET value='15' WHERE element='img1' AND property='width';
 UPDATE imageProperties
  SET value='15' WHERE element='img1' AND property='height';
 UPDATE imageProperties
  SET value='22' WHERE element='img2' AND property='left';
 UPDATE imageProperties
  SET value='49' WHERE element='img2' AND property='top';
 UPDATE imageProperties
  SET value='62' WHERE element='img2' AND property='width';
 UPDATE imageProperties
  SET value='75' WHERE element='img2' AND property='height';
");

syntax is wrong.you should have UPDATE imageProperties for each set:

UPDATE imageProperties
  SET value='98' WHERE element='img1' AND property='left';
UPDATE imageProperties
  SET value='67' WHERE element='img1' AND property='top';
UPDATE imageProperties
  SET value='15' WHERE element='img1' AND property='width';
