Maq Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Look at the MySQL UPDATE syntax: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/update.html You're not specifying table names so your queries are failing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BellQuestWars Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 it still isnt even working, and I changed it to this: <?php session_start(); require_once("connect.php"); ?> <html> <body> Thanks for buying!<br> Receipt:<br> Amount:<?php echo ($_POST["amount"]);?> <br>Type:<?php echo $_POST["type"];?> <br>Cost:<?php if($_POST["type"]=="pikemen"){ // MySQL connect information. $c_username = "a1369434_bqw"; $c_password = "darthvader1"; $c_host = "mysql7.000webhost.com"; $c_database = "a1369434_bqw"; // Connect. $connection = mysql_connect($c_host, $c_username, $c_password) or die ("It seems this site's database isn't responding."); $cost = 20 * $_POST["amount"]; $price = $_SESSION["resources"] - $cost; $name = $_SESSION["username"]; $gained = $_POST["amount"] + $_SESSION["pikemen"]; mysql_query("UPDATE SET pikemen = '$gained' WHERE username = '$name'"); echo $cost; }mysql_query("UPDATE SET resources = '$price' WHERE username = '$name'"); ?> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellQuestWars Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 Nevermind, I got it to work... W3Schools had the wrong syntax ... Nightslyr's signature speaks the truth! Please lock this topic, or whatever you do to solved topics (sorry bout all the double posting, I hadnt seen the modify button before now.)

Maq Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Yep w3schools is not a reliable resource, check out Nightslyr's sig link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
