Hello Developers,

this has just come up on PHP-GENERAL mailing list and I went wild testing it.

problem:

if in shell this kind of (MySQL) query works:

UPDATE table SET column=0 WHERE id=1;UPDATE table SET column=0 WHERE id=2;UPDATE table SET column=0 WHERE id=3;UPDATE table SET column=0 WHERE id=4;UPDATE table SET column=0 WHERE id=5;

then why not to make it work in mysql_query() as well?

It gives you an error like this: 

MySQL Error: 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near ';UPDATE table SET column=0 WHERE id=2;UPDATE table SET column=0 WHERE id=3;U' at line 1

This could be SO useful!...
Just think about all these loops we often have to do in order to generate a similar query..  and we are still putting mysql_query() on each loop....

Thanks, 
Maxim Maletsky.
