Don,

Thanks for your inputs.
One help on 'Equals' rule, it should replace the value only when the source field value is matching with the rules field value. Sorry, earlier I gave wrong output example for Equals.

Input:
Code:
field1|field2|field3
rc11|rc12|rec1
rc$$$21|rc#21|rec2
x|y|rec3
xx11|yy11|rec$4
rc41|r!42|rec5

rules:
Code:
field|search|condition|replace
field1|x|Equals|rc
field1|$|Contains|
field2|#|Contains|
field2|!|Contains|c
field2|y|Equals|rc
fieldx|{{|Equals|

Output:
Code:
field1|field2|field3
rc11|rc12|rec1
rc21|rc21|rec2
rc|rc|rec3
xx11|yy11|rec$4        --> not altered due to equality rules.
rc41|rc42|rec5

Could you please suggest the changes for equals condition to replace whole field value when matched.

Thank you!

PG_UPDATE(3)															      PG_UPDATE(3)

pg_update - Update table

SYNOPSIS
mixed pg_update (resource $connection, string $table_name, array $data, array $condition, [int $options = PGSQL_DML_EXEC]) DESCRIPTION
pg_update(3) updates records that matches condition with data. If options is specified, pg_convert(3) is applied to data with specified options. PARAMETERS
o $connection - PostgreSQL database connection resource. o $table_name - Name of the table into which to update rows. o $data - An array whose keys are field names in the table $table_name, and whose values are what matched rows are to be updated to. o $condition - An array whose keys are field names in the table $table_name, and whose values are the conditions that a row must meet to be updated. o $options - Any number of PGSQL_CONV_FORCE_NULL, PGSQL_DML_NO_CONV, PGSQL_DML_ESCAPE, PGSQL_DML_EXEC, PGSQL_DML_ASYNC or PGSQL_DML_STRING combined. If PGSQL_DML_STRING is part of the $options then query string is returned. When PGSQL_DML_NO_CONV or PGSQL_DML_ESCAPE is set, it does not call pg_convert(3) internally. RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. Returns string if PGSQL_DML_STRING is passed via $options. EXAMPLES
Example #1 pg_update(3) example <?php $db = pg_connect('dbname=foo'); $data = array('field1'=>'AA', 'field2'=>'BB'); // This is safe, since $_POST is converted automatically $res = pg_update($db, 'post_log', $_POST, $data); if ($res) { echo "Data is updated: $res "; } else { echo "User must have sent wrong inputs "; } ?> CHANGELOG
+-------------+---------------------------------------------------+ | Version | | | | | | | Description | | | | +-------------+---------------------------------------------------+ | 5.6.0 | | | | | | | No longer experimental. Added PGSQL_DML_ESCAPE | | | constant, TRUE/ FALSE and NULL data type support. | | | | |5.5.3/5.4.19 | | | | | | | Direct SQL injection to $table_name and Indirect | | | SQL injection to identifiers are fixed. | | | | +-------------+---------------------------------------------------+ SEE ALSO
