Question

Is my script correct?
What i want is that check if the id is exist then UPDATE if not exist then INSERT.

$sqlCheckRow = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM wctilerack WHERE gameID = '$up_gameID' " ) or die ( mysql_error() );
$rowCounted = mysql_num_rows( $sqlCheckRow );
if ( $rowCounted == '0' ) {
    // INSERT wctilerack
    $sqlTileINSERT = mysql_query( "INSERT INTO wctilerack VALUE('', '$up_gameID', '$up_email_player1', '$playerRack' ) ") or die ( mysql_error() );
} elseif ( $rowCounted == '1' ) {
    // INSERT wctilerack
    $sqlTileINSERT = mysql_query( "UPDATE wctilerack SET tiles = '$playerRack' WHERE gamedID = '$up_gameID'  ") or die ( mysql_error() );
}

I tested it its working i just like to confirm if the process is correct.

thank you

You can also do like this

if (empty($rowCounted)) 
{
    $sqlTileINSERT = mysql_query( "INSERT INTO wctilerack VALUE('', '$up_gameID', '$up_email_player1', '$playerRack' ) ") or die ( mysql_error() );
}
else
{
    $sqlTileINSERT = mysql_query( "UPDATE wctilerack SET tiles = '$playerRack' WHERE gamedID = '$up_gameID'  ") or die ( mysql_error() );
}
