I just created a test table with the 3 fields and used:
where visits=visits+1
without the trailing comma and everything worked fine.

Subject: Update and change a value
I was wondering if anyone can explain why this SQL command doesn't work
UPDATE users SET visits=visits+1, WHERE user_id='$user' AND
password='$password'
the $user and $password are variables that are inserted by PHP, what I'm
specifically looking at is the visits=visits+1 which is simple enough and
taken virtually from the mySQL documentation. The line below works fine in
which I set a set value.
UPDATE users SET visits=4 WHERE user_id='$user' AND password='$password'
Any help would be appreciated
Jamie
