I am attempting to create a simple hit counter so I know how many times the
page was actually viewed.
The table is a simple 3 column deal.
1) id (key)
2) name
3) hits


the code I have tried below returns the following error:
Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link
resource

What do I need to do to make this work right?


<?php
$con = mysql_connect('localhost','user','pass');
if (!$con){die("can not connect: " . mysql_error());}
mysql_select_db('richbull_top100',$con);

mysql_query($con,"UPDATE counter1 SET hits=hits++
WHERE name='pickhit' ");

mysql_close($con);

echo "done";

?>

Look up the mysql_query() function in the doc.

Read the documentation for mysql_query again especially the arguments.

Note that the mysql_* functions are deprecated and you should consider using
mysqli_* - see the warning at the top of the documentation page.

As i had to learn, Richard will not take notes or read manuals. He has
been warned numerous times to switch to mysqli and in particular how to
use the mysql_query function previously.

Just so you do not get frustrated.

Thanks - I've seen previous dialogues with OP. Or perhaps that should be
monologues :-)

Lucky you, because you've never ever written a script of your own in your
life.
