Updating a MySQL record

Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out how to update a MySQL record (a single row) I cuurently have this but it isn't working... I'm just getting that error "0 is not a mysql result index...." or just the DIE result.

mysql_db_query("guru", "INSERT INTO newslinks (clicks) values('$iClicks') WHERE id='$id'")
or DIE("Unable to insert into database");

$id is a value from an auto_increment col, so it might be "34" or something.

Therefore I want a command to tell Mysql to go to the row with id number "34" and update the col on that row with $iClicks.

Thanks heaps for your time,
Billy

"INSERT INTO newslinks (clicks) values('$iClicks') WHERE id='$id'"


it should be:
"INSERT INTO newslinks (clicks) values('$iClicks') WHERE id=$id"

no need to put single quote for auto increment field.

also make sure that your field names are correct..(ie, clicks)

The proper syntax for what you are trying to do is:

update newslinks set clicks='$iClicks' where id=$id

Insert is for new records.
