Withouth entering in details, security and best practices...

$sqlString = ' UPDATE blablalba SET ';
foreach($_POST as $key => $value)
{
$sqlString .= " `$key` = '$value', ";
}

// You have to deal here a little with the last comma ;)

It's possible not all data in $_POST are fields of the database. You
could manage prefixing the indexes or other ways...

foreach($_POST as $key => $value)
{
if(!preg_match('/^my_prefix.+/',$key)) continue;
$sqlString .= " `$key` = '$value', ";
}

That's some basic ideas, but be carefull, because there are important
things to take in care when using this metodologies. Using POST data to
build SQL strings "automagically" implies taking care of sqlInjection
and thiese kind of things.
