Increase for db->update possible? - El Forum - 11-08-2007 [eluser]tirithen[/eluser] Is it possible to replace -INCREASE- in the code lines bellow to automaticly increase the value on that post? Code: this->db->where('id', $_POST['entry_id']); And is it possible to decrease a value in the same manner? Increase for db->update possible? - El Forum - 11-08-2007 [eluser]xwero[/eluser] You can try Code: $this->db->update('entries', array('num_comments' => 'num_comments+1' )); Code: $this->db->query('update enteries set num_comments=num_comments+1 where id=?',array($_POST['entry_id'])); Increase for db->update possible? - El Forum - 11-08-2007 [eluser]tirithen[/eluser] I tried it but could not get i to work. For now I'll use this Code: $this->db->where('id', $_POST['entry_id'], 1); Increase for db->update possible? - El Forum - 11-08-2007 [eluser]xwero[/eluser] I think it's best to use the query method version than to do another query to get the comments number. And if you insist on using the first query use Code: $this->db->select('num_comments'); Increase for db->update possible? - El Forum - 11-08-2007 [eluser]Phil Sturgeon[/eluser] There are probably a few ways of doing this with AR, but not all will work and to save me having to test any you could use the one I use. Why use 2 queries when you can use 1? Code: $this->db->set('views', 'views + 1'); Increase for db->update possible? - El Forum - 11-08-2007 [eluser]tirithen[/eluser] Thanks for all the help. :-D I'm getting more and more on how to write the code. :-) |
