Fruct0se Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 This is actually most likely working, however you have both + and - in the same form so when you submit it both + and - will be set. This means that your code will add 1 then immediately subtract 1.

MadTechie Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 The SQL query isn't valid try this to add UPDATE `mklseason5` SET `season_goals` = `season_goals`+1 WHERE `player` = `$player` and this to subtract UPDATE `mklseason5` SET `season_goals` = `season_goals`-1 WHERE `player` = `$player` Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/153053-solved-administration-page/#findComment-804021 Share on other sites More sharing options...
