So .... 1. Have you tried it at the mysql console? What results? 2. How accurately does day match $day? Have you tried "=" instead of LIKE? Maybe it's doing it twice? 3. Is day distinct? How do you know you have only one? When you tested with 2, assuming i had a value of 1, was the result 5 or 6? Strange - Miles Thompson At 05:43 PM 5/16/01 -0400, SubvertTRL wrote:

I am making a simple script that counts votes per day for a site and uses

first

time i run the script it works, after that it doubles it. so instead of

1,

it adds 2. i know its doubling it because i tried adding 2, 3, and 4 and

it

doubled all those... the field is a BIGINT UNSIGNED, i've tried it with just INT, nothing seems to work, i used to have PHP get the field value, increment it, then update the row in the database with the new number, it doubleed it that way. now i use straight mySQL code to do it all in one shot, still doubles it.. can any one help me??? heres my code... less database info :) $results = mysql_query("UPDATE trlvotes SET i=i+1, WHERE day LIKE

'$day'");

if (mysql_affected_rows($results) == 0){ mysql_query("INSERT INTO trlvotes (id, day, i) VALUES (null, '$day',

1)");
