ok... I've been messing with this for a while and have gotten frustrated. Here is what I have in phpMyAdmin: UPDATE `TABLE` SET `FIELD2` = `FIELD1' Code (markup): Which basically copies all the entries in FIELD1 to FIELD2. That's great, now what if I want to place some text before and after? Example: UPDATE `TABLE` SET `FIELD2` = "Text before field data" `FIELD1' "text after field data" Code (markup): Does anyone know how to do this in phpmyadmin or do I have to use a php script to do this and if so, what's the code? I thank all of you in advance, this is driving me nuts
use mysql concat function UPDATE `TABLE` SET `FIELD2` = concat("Text before field data", FIELD1 , "text after field data")
