Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-26 02:07:30] alex@sgl.net.au I wrote a poll section for the company i work for, on www.sgl.net.au. I was testing boundary and illegal values with my script, and i set the number of votes for one of the options to -1, when i click "Vote" it takes the -1 and increments it. (taken from a mysql_db) when it finishes incrementing it the resulting vote number is -2 so $variable = - 1; $variable++; echo $variable prints out -2 The problem could be with mysql returning a positve integer only ,but i thought i'd mention it anyway --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
