I tried to make a click counter in MySQL, but it dose not seem to work.

Here’s my code in PHP (count.php)

<?php
mysql_connect("myhost", "username", "password") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("mydatabase") or die(mysql_error());

mysql_query("INSERT INTO `table` (`field`) VALUES(\'+1\'); ") 
or die(mysql_error()); 
?>

And here is the HTML

<html>
    <head>
    </head>
    <div onClick="count.php">Click!</div>
    </script>
    </body>
</html>

And will this code handle multiple people clicking the button at the same time?

    onClick is not like href, it shoud look like this:

    <div onClick="count()">Click</div>
<script>
    function count() {
        // java script function that loads count.php by ajax //
    }
</script>

    in count.php instead of

    mysql_query("INSERT INTO table (field) VALUES (1)");

    you can use

    mysql_query("UPDATE table SET field = field+1 WHERE id = 1");
