Question

Ok so im doing a mysql select and if there is no result then we will insert it if there is a result we update it but im getting the
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE

Here is my full code

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * from new_battles WHERE player1='".$_SESSION['username']."'");
if(mysql_num_rows($query)!=0)
{# If row already exists, then update it.

$result2 = mysql_query("UPDATE new_battles SET player1 = '"$_SESSION['username']"' AND player2 = '"$_SESSION['vsuser']"' 
AND onpokemonplayer1 = '1'  AND onpokemonplayer2 = '1'  WHERE player1 = '"$_SESSION['username']"' ")
or die(mysql_error());
}
else
{# If row doesn't exist, then insert row.
$result = mysql_query("INSERT INTO new_battles (player1, player2,onpokemonplayer1,onpokemonplayer2) VALUES('"$_SESSION['username']"', '"$_SESSION['vsuser']"' , '1', '1')")
or die(mysql_error());
}

It says the error is on the mysql update bit… Maybe im using to many and’s ???

Answer 1

You forgot the . to concatenate your variable in the query:

$result2 = mysql_query("UPDATE new_battles
            SET player1 = '".$_SESSION['username']."',
            player2 = '".$_SESSION['vsuser']."',
            onpokemonplayer1 = '1',
            onpokemonplayer2 = '1'
            WHERE player1 = '".$_SESSION['username']."' ") or die(mysql_error());

EDIT: as asked in the comments, you UPDATE query was wrong, to update multiple fields you need to separate them with commas and not AND.
