Are there alternative methods to updating database records in PHP besides the traditional UPDATE query?
Issue: Yes, there are alternative methods to updating database records in PHP besides the traditional UPDATE query. One common method is to use an ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) library like Eloquent in Laravel or Doctrine in Symfony, which abstracts the database operations and provides a more object-oriented approach to working with database records.
// Example using Eloquent ORM in Laravel to update a database record
// Find the record you want to update
$user = User::find($id);
// Update the record
$user->name = 'John Doe';
$user->email = 'john.doe@example.com';
$user->save();
