I want to update multiple authors but when i click the update button it saves last inputted value on all of the fields. Your response is highly appreciated. Thank you so much!!!

Here is my code

 <?php 
                        }elseif($ID[0]=="Update"){ 
                            $Author_Query = mysql_query("SELECT a.*, b.* FROM tblAuthor a, tblResources b WHERE a.Accession_No = b.Accession_No AND a.Accession_No = '".$ID[1]."'");
                            while($Author = mysql_fetch_array($Author_Query)){
                    ?>
                    <td><input type="text" name="Author[]" value="<?php echo $_POST['Author']; ?><?php echo $Author['Author']; ?>" /></td>
                    <?php }} ?>

    Pages           = '".$_POST['Pages']."',
    Source_of_Fund  = '".$_POST['Source_of_Fund']."',
    Cost_Price      = '".$_POST['Cost_Price']."',
    Publisher       = '".$_POST['Publisher']."',
    Year            = '".$_POST['Year']."',
    Remarks         = '".$_POST['Remarks']."',
    Category_ID     = '".$_POST['Category']."',

     //$q = $Text."/";
     //$gets = explode("/",$q);

    $Get = $_POST['Author'];
    $Box = count($Get);
    for($Text = 0; $Text < $Box; $Text++){
    $TextBox = $Get[$Text];

    mysql_query("UPDATE tblAuthor 
    SET Author = '".$TextBox."'
    WHERE Accession_No  = '".$Ac1."'");


    }

    $Ac1++;
    }while($Ac1 <= $Ac2);


    echo "<script language=javascript>
    alert('Successfully Updated!');
    location.href='Resources.php';
    </script>";
}

The problem happen because field 'Accession_No' it's same for author, so the effective update always the last one.

I think something like this solve your problem:

$Get = $_POST['Author'];
$Box = count($Get);

if($Box > 0) {
    mysql_query("DELETE FROM tblAuthor  WHERE Accession_No  = '".$Ac1."'");

    foreach($Get as $author){
        mysql_query("INSERT INTO tblAuthor (Author, Accession_No) VALUES ('".$author."', ".$Ac1.");
    }
}

It's necessary remove the author, because if one author isn't in table before, the mysql not update, the record doesn't exists. So, it's easy remove all authors and insert again.
