now it doesn't work... it runs without an erro for a minet but then stops.. and i don't see that it is updating on mysql.

i gess you r right but.. the idea is that have a page with a blank bar that i write a word in it. this word is "mission = var2" . sorry for asking.. what after the "if($phase !== false) { .... ? tnx

i'm getting this erro "Warning: mysql_result() [function.mysql-result]: Unable to jump to row 0 on MySQL result index 3 in /***/***/*****.php on line 278 not an active session, starts new" this is the code: if ($phase = mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT `phase` FROM `as_support` WHERE `mission` = '$var2'"),0,0)) { if ($phase=='5') { // mysql_query("DELETE FROM `as_support` WHERE `mission` = '$var2'"); // header("Location: https://www.**********/*******/*******.php"); } else { echo date('h:i:s') . ": PHASE is $phase<br />"; echo "\$var1=$var1,\$var2=$var2<br />"; } } else { echo "not an active session, starts new<br />"; echo "\$var1=$var1,\$var2=$var2<br />"; mysql_query("INSERT INTO `as_support` (`mission`, `phase`) VALUES ('$var2', '0')") OR DIE(mysql_error()); the first line is line no. 278 can someone please tell me what to do? tnx shirley
