php database help

I need help on the code for adding int values to a database.

I am keeping scores each week for a poker club  and each week I need to add the scores into the database so that it shows the total on the webpage.

The page would look like this

 

Name:  

Score:

 

 

and the total scores page would be a table with the name on the left and total score on the right.

It is very important that I can add scores each week that add on top of the total score for that player.

 

Cheers

 

 

Also the tables have already been created on mySQL

you should store the raw data for each week/game/player as a separate row in a 'result' table, similar to what you do with a bank account statement. then simply do a sum() in a query to produce a score for any player(s) when needed.

 

this will do two things -

 

1) keep a specific record of who, what, when, and where something occurred

 

2) prevent duplicate entries/processing from corrupting the data.
