Question

I am trying to perform a update/insert into query for MySQL. Should insert, if not already in database.

However, it will not update. My db connection is good. I cannot figure it out.

$sql =  "UPDATE jos_bl_paid SET u_id='$uid', m_id = '$mid', t_id = '$cus', pd = '1', paypal_payment='$txn',p_date=NOW() WHERE u_id = '$uid' AND '$mid' = m_id ";            

$test45 = mysql_affected_rows();
  if ($test45 == 0) {


$sql = "INSERT INTO jos_bl_paid(paypal_payment,u_id,m_id,pd,t_id,p_date)VALUES('$txn','$uid','$mid','1','$cus',NOW())";

    if (!mysql_query($sql)) {
        error_log(mysql_error());
        exit(0);
                         }

echo 'Yes';
}else{
echo 'No';
}

Answer 1

From the code you are showing you aren’t even running the update query. You need to put

if (!mysql_query($sql)) {
    error_log(mysql_error());
    exit(0);
}

before the line

$test45 = mysql_affected_rows();

for that to even return what you want
