Hello,

I'm making a function that adds + '1' to a mysql field called 'points' corresponding to the right ID. The number of points is by default '0', so basically it just adds '1' every time the function is called, but i have no idea how i'm going to add 1...

I can retrieve the points from the ID though, the number is stored in $points.

This sounds silly, but maybe something like $points += 1; i know that doesn't work ofcourse, but you get the point.

Thanks in advance.

What your thinking of does work

Though, you can do it without needing to pull stuff from the MySQL, heres how (this is the bit of the MySQL, sorry for missing the 'UPDATE' parts):

points=points+1

Instead of putting

points=`'.$points+1.'`

$points++

^^ much simpler..
