lpxxfaintxx Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I've taken out some parts of the script to show you what's wrong. I am trying to make a hits counter but no matter what I do, it doesnt seem to be working :([code]$viewid = $_GET["id"];$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM registered_files WHERE viewid = '$viewid'"); $myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result); $hits = $myrow['hits'] + 1; $sql = "UPDATE registered_files SET hits='$hits' WHERE id=$viewid"; $result = mysql_query($sql);?>[/code][code] <td>This image has been viewed: </td> <td><?php echo $hits ?> </td>[/code]Shouldn't the hits +1 and update? Please help, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 [code]$viewid = $_GET['id'];......$result = mysql_query("UPDATE registered_files SET hits=hits+1 WHERE id = $viewid") or die (mysql_error());[/code]would be all you need to do to update the counter quickly. i've added: or die(mysql_error()) to let you know if there's some other problem.

tacnev Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 For the first line of the code you provided;[code]$viewid = intval($_GET["id"]);[/code]will be better for security ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpxxfaintxx Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 I tried [code]<?php $result2 = mysql_query("UPDATE registered_files SET hits=hits+1 WHERE id = '$viewid'") or die (mysql_error());$myrow2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2);[/code] but it says [!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/lpxxfain/public_html/membersimage.php on[/quote]There is a $result and $myrow somewhere else in the script so I had to make 2.Thanks guys. I really don't know what I'd do without you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpxxfaintxx Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 Could it be that theres 2 mysql querys in one script? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
