Updating Records In Mysql

Is there an easy way of updating a lot of records with using the same line over and over again. See I would have to repeat the same line over with new values and fields every time I wanted to update a lot of records.

mysql_query("UPDATE profiles SET age='21' WHERE id='1'");

I would have to run that line above over and over again. Any one else have a better way of doing this. Joe

a loop would be the most obvious choice (using a SELECT first) if you are doing this from PHP or some sort of server side language. Alternatively, perhaps you could use the wildcard (*) as the value of id. not so sure about that one though.

Well I fount a sample of how to do it. It's just a ran into another problem. So I guess I'll have to get that one problem fixed before moving on to this.
