Hello,

I am creating a mock site that has a money balance  that people can login
and pretend to pay money for stuff online via my site.

I am using php with mysql to implement this.

How do I make sure that a balance for a particular account is (locked) so
only 1 spend for that account can happen at one time?

for example my php script grabs the balance from the payer account and
receiver account. How do I make sure that the balance is locked so the
balance is read before the updated transaction occurs causing the person to
spend money that he/she doesn't have.

I hope I have provided enough explanation for you guys to point me in the
right direction.

thanks

randy
