Another idea would ne to use an "application" variable..

This is like a Session variable but is site wide

Hi

bit confused!

here's what I want to do:

get a numeric value from a MySQL table, do a calculation, then on another PHPpage update the numeric value in the table.

what I don't want is anyone else getting the same number from the table before I've updated it.

what PHP would you use to do this?

Sorry for what is probably a really basic question - I did look at the MySQL manual, but I'm not sure how exactly to issue an SQL query LOCK TABLES using PHP.

TIA

Tony
