Hi,
I just noticed a problem with my question which would
cause major problems in my db. So let me re-ask it
again.
How can I update 2 tables at once if a match occours
from information inputed into a PHP form.
Now this is what each table has.
table1:
id
username
game1
game2
game3
game4
game5
game6
game7
game8
score
table2:
id
username
password
sid
score
I have this:
$sql = "UPDATE table1 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 that works fine and updates correctly.
But now I want a second table to be updated. So if
username blah got +1 I need table2 to update it's
score for blah to +1. The query above updates if it
finda a match in table1 and does not require the use
of a username to update. But for table2 I am guessing
it WILL need to know the username or id to update the
appropiate field and not update everyones score to +1.
So how is this achieved? Or am I doing this a hard
way?
