Question

I need help with my php Code which is supposed to update my mysql database. I tried it this way:

<?php mysql_connect("servername","name","passwort"); 
mysql_select_db("dbname"); 
$name = $_GET["name"]; $points = $_GET["points"]; 
$query = "UPDATE highscore SET points=".$points." WHERE name='".$name."'";

mysql_query($query) 
mysql_close(); ?>

I called it with:

http://.../write.php?name=%22Alexa%20Bomkamp%22&points=%22100

But literally nothing happened. No error, but also no update.
Does anyone know what im doing wrong?

Thanks for help 🙂
