Re: Php help

First, your subject line is misleading and likely to get your post
ignored. Your problem isn't related to PHP, it is an sql problem. (And
as such probably more appropriate for the pgsql-sql list, but whatever)

I think what you're trying to do is:

UPDATE rocket SET search = partno WHERE partno ilike '5R%';
