[snip] $money -= 10; saves some chars ;) [/snip] This actually requires two trips to the database, once to get $money and once to update $money. Do it in the query instead...once..... $sqlUpdate = "UPDATE myDatabase.myTable SET myMoney = (myMoney-10) WHERE myCharacter = characterName "; $doUpdate = mysql_query($sqlUpdate, $myConnection); saves lots of characters ;) Hey, Look I made a new database just for this money testing stuff.
This is the table: CREATE TABLE money ( money varchar(255) NOT NULL default '' ) TYPE=MyISAM; Now, I use this code $sqlUpdate = "UPDATE myDatabase.myTable SET myMoney = (myMoney-10) WHERE myCharacter = characterName "; $doUpdate = mysql_query($sqlUpdate, $myConnection); And it should work, And it gives no error but it is not writing anything into the database.
