Re: [PHP-DB] multiple queries in PHP to mysql database.

How about turning this around and re-organising the data a little? Why not have a single score table with references to a central username / pw / id table. Table 1 - users id username password Table 2 - scores id userid game1 game2 game3 game4 ... overall You can then do UPDATE table2 SET game1=game1+1, overall=overall+1 WHERE userid = $userid Getting a results table would then be a single query... Does this help at all ? Hopefully I've grasped enough of the concept to not make a complete fool of myself !

[PHP-DB] multiple queries in PHP to mysql database.
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!brbr);
}
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?

Hi
After Updateing the table1:
SELECT username, score FROM table1 WHERE $select='$winner';
Then you have your Informations..
