Question

Can someone show me how to change the following SQL into CI’s active stuff.

    $query = $this->db->query('UPDATE pollanswers SET pollAnswerPoints = pollAnswerPoints + 1 WHERE pollAnswerID = '.$pollanswerid.'');
    return true;

Also, how would i add an if statement to that to see if it completed properly return true, if not return false?

Cheers,

Answer 1

try this

$this->db->set('pollAnswerPoints', 'pollAnswerPoints + 1', FALSE);
$this->db->where('pollAnswerID', $pollanswerid);
$this->db->update('pollanswers');

Edit:

if($this->db->affected_rows() > 0)
{
     return true; 
} else 
{
    return false;
}
