Hi, This is what I have so far. <? if ($REQUEST_METHOD == "POST") { $usr = "usr"; $pwd = "pwd"; $db = "db"; $host = "localhost"; $cid = mysql_connect($host,$usr,$pwd); mysql_select_db($db); // NOTE that form fields automatically become variables $sql = "UPDATE round1 SET score=score+1 WHERE $select='$winner'"; mysql_query("$sql"); echo("Points credited? I hope!<br><br>"); } else {echo("An error occoured, please click back button and try again.");} ?> Now is this right? <? if ($REQUEST_METHOD == "POST") { $usr = "usr"; $pwd = "pwd"; $db = "db"; $host = "localhost"; $cid = mysql_connect($host,$usr,$pwd); mysql_select_db($db); // NOTE that form fields automatically become variables $sql = "UPDATE round1 SET score=score+1 WHERE $select='$winner'"; if (match) { $sql = "UPDATE round1 SET score=score+1 WHERE $select='$winner': $sql = "UPDATE profile SET update_table2; } mysql_query("$sql"); echo("Points credited? I hope!<br><br>"); } else {echo("An error occoured, please click back button and try again.");} ?> http://mobile.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
