[code]
checksongexistence(){
$songrequest = "SELECT * FROM songs WHERE songname='".$songname."' AND songartist='".$songartist."'";
$checksongexistence = mysql_query($songrequest,$conn);

if($checksongexistence){
$query="UPDATE songs SET votes='$addvote' WHERE songname='$songname' AND songartist='$songartist'";
mysql_query($query);

if($query){
echo "Your request was submitted succesfully";
}else{
echo "An error occured, your request was not successful";
}else{
insertintodb();
}
[/code]

how do you +1 to a number inside of a database?

[trq]

[code=php:0]
$query="UPDATE songs SET votes=votes+1 WHERE songname='$songname' AND songartist='$songartist'"
[/code]
