Does this make sence cheers.

I wonder if theres a way to get the query to increment by one.
[code]

if($_POST(["submit"])) {

$db=mysql_connect("localhost");
mysql_select_db("promotor", $db);

$query="INSERT INTO users VALUES('$id','$password','$score','$clicks' where clicks='$clicks'+1);

$result=mysql_query($query);


}

[/code]

I believe you want to use the UPDATE feature

ie
[code]
$result = mysql_query("UPDATE USERS SET click=click+'1' WHERE user = $some_user_id")
or die(mysql_error()); [/code]

might not be EXACTLY correct but it gives you the general idea - simply look in th ephp/mysql manual for UPDATE

LITE...

If you access a column from tbl_name in an expression, UPDATE uses the current value of the column. For example, the following statement sets the age column to one more than its current value:

UPDATE persondata SET age=age+1;
