I want to lock a table so that other pages can not access the table in between the data pull and date update.
But it would seem it locks the *same* page from updating (but not from reading thankfully). PHP: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- mysql_query('LOCK TABLES ConfigVars READ'); $result = mysql_result( mysql_query('SELECT Counter, AffilateIDcode FROM ConfigVars'), 0); ... mysql_query('UPDATE ConfigVars SET Counter = (Counter + '."$increment)"); mysql_query('UNLOCK TABLES'); ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Am I right? If I am, what can be done to fix this problem? -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
