I have 2 tables, Table A:
sid, phone, ts
And Table B:
id, phone, sid(NULL), ts
I have written a PHP script to connect, query and read in the data, but am not sure how to edit the data.
What I essentially want to do is match tableB phone
with tableA phone
and if match then update tableB column sid
which is NULL
with tableA sid
.
I am sure this can be done with while
and foreach
loop but am not exactly sure how.
Can anyone please help?
If you need to automatically update the db, then you should be using CRON job.
Step 1 : Copy paste the following in a separate php file say, cron.php. Add the db connection part also. :
$query_table1 = "SELECT * FROM table1";
$result_table1= msyql_query($query_table1);
while($row_table1 = mysql_fetch_array($result_table1)){
$phone1 = $row_table1['phone'];
$sid1 = $row_table1['sid'];
$query_table2 = "UPDATE table2 SET sid=$sid1 WHERE phone=$phone1";
$result_table2= msyql_query($query_table2);
}
Step 2 : Go to your host control panel and go to cron. In that add a new cron job.
If you need to execute the file every 1 min then, this would help the cause:
* * * * * <command> #Runs every minute
The basic syntax would be time /path/to/command arg1 arg2
Cheers
You have to run this query:
update tableA, tableB set tableB.sid = tableA.sid where
tableB.phone = tableA.phone
