Hi Members,
I have a database with a "log" column in one of the tables. I am trying to
update the contents of that column when a person logs into the domain.
I am able to update the database in phpMyAdmin with the following query:
UPDATE auth2 SET log=log+1 WHERE username="username"
This does exactly what I want it to do, but when I try to use that code in
the PHP file as:
mysql_connect("$dbhost", "$dblogin", "$dbpass");
mysql_db_query ($dbname, 'UPDATE auth2 SET log=log+1 WHERE
username="$username"');
The database is not getting updated. The database name variables are stored
in another file and included in the login php file. The $username variable
is taken from the login form.
What am I doing wrong?
