sql update multiple rows with case in php - php

Question

I am trying to update 11 rows at a time - cricket team (11 players) posted from a form page before, and then I want to update the first table called with these players. (The table includes player, order and team.)
<?php
session_start();
// Edit this to connect to your database with your username and password
$db_name="a1467234_cricket"; // Database name
$tbl_name="statistics"; // Table name
// Connect to server and select databse.
$conn = mysql_connect("mysql17.000webhost.com","*******","*******") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
$one = $_POST["one"];
$two = $_POST["two"];
$three = $_POST["three"];
$four = $_POST["four"];
$five = $_POST["five"];
$six = $_POST["six"];
$seven = $_POST["seven"];
$eight = $_POST["eight"];
$nine = $_POST["nine"];
$ten = $_POST["ten"];
$eleven = $_POST["eleven"];
$team = $_POST["team"];
$sql = "UPDATE first
SET player = (CASE
WHEN order = 1 ='$team' THEN '$one'
WHEN order = 2 AND team ='$team' THEN '$two'
WHEN order = 3 AND team ='$team' THEN '$three'
WHEN order = 4 AND team ='$team' THEN '$four'
WHEN order = 5 AND team ='$team' THEN '$five'
WHEN order = 6 AND team ='$team' THEN '$six'
WHEN order = 7 AND team ='$team' THEN '$seven'
WHEN order = 8 AND team ='$team' THEN '$eight'
WHEN order = 9 AND team ='$team' THEN '$nine'
WHEN order = 10 AND team ='$team' THEN '$ten'
WHEN order = 11 AND team ='$team' THEN '$eleven'
ELSE player
END
WHERE order IN (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11))";
echo "Updated team selection";
mysql_close($conn);
?>
Does anyone know how to get the update script working please? No errors are displayed, and it just doesn't change the database.

Answer 1

You need a mysql_query($sql); to execute your query on the database

Answer 2

Using for loop might be easier, neat and smarter way for your query. This might be little helpful for you:
<?php
for($i=1;$i<$count;$i++) {
$updatesql="update first set player ='".$_POST['player_'.$i]"' where team ='".$_POST['team_'.$i]"' ";
mysql_query($updatesql);
}
?>
You might need slight modification with this one.
for eg. you need to post data in this way:
player_1, player_2 etc. and team in team_1, team_2 etc.

Answer 3

bviously, you are missing a closing parenthesis ')' after the END.
By the way, the first case condition (order = 1 ='$team') doesn't seem to make any sense.
Anyway, the query below should work. Please note that the . . . would need to be populated in the same pattern as the first and second players.
$sql = "
UPDATE first a,
(
SELECT 1 AS `order`, '{$one}' AS player, '{$team}' AS team
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 AS `order`, '{$two}' AS player, '{$team}' AS team
.
.
.
UNION ALL
SELECT 11 AS `order`, '{$eleven}' AS player, '{$team}' AS team
) b
SET a.player = b.player
WHERE a.`order` = b.`order`
AND a.team = b.teamenter
";
