update array data to database inside looping - php

Question

I face a problem with update more then one value with the same name to database.
//while loop
{
<input name="exists[]" value='$row1[Status_Name]'></input>
}
bellow are how I update the data to database
if (isset($_POST["updsts"]))
{
$gid = $_POST["id"];
$sqlq = "SELECT * FROM orderstatus WHERE Status_Group = '$gid'";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sqlq);
$rowcount = mysqli_num_rows($result);
if ($rowcount == 0)
echo "No records found";
else
{
$x = '0';
while( $x<$rowcount)
{
$stsname = $_POST["exists[$x]"];
$sqlu = "UPDATE orderstatus SET
Status_Name = '$stsname'
WHERE Status_Group = '$gid'";
$x++;
}
}
My $row1[Status_Name] will show all the status_name inside a table.

You can loop over the post array key:
foreach ($_POST['exists'] as $val) {
// Do your updates here
}
Additionally, this code has a lot of other serious problems you should be aware of.
You're not escaping any data used in the context of HTML. Use htmlspecialchars() around any arbitrary data you're concatenating into HTML. Without this, you risk creating invalid HTML as well as potential security issues with injected scripts.
You're not escaping any data used in your queries! As it stands right now, pretty much anyone can do whatever they want with your database data. Automated bots hit these sort of scripts and exploit them all the time. Use parameterized queries, always. Never concatenate data into the context of a query!
There's no need for this select and then update loop. Just use one update.
