How about turning this around and re-organising the data a little?
Why not have a single score table with references to a central username / pw / id table.
Table 1 - users
id
username
password
Table 2 - scores
id
userid
game1
game2
game3
game4
...
overall
You can then do
UPDATE table2 SET game1=game1+1, overall=overall+1 WHERE userid = $userid
Getting a results table would then be a single query...
Does this help at all ? Hopefully I've grasped enough of the concept to not make a complete
fool of myself !!!!!
