PHP Problem for a Newbie

[mickey_kamer]

Hello all,

I hope some one can help me with this.

My Environment:
Linux Red Hat
MySQL
PHP

My task to learn:

I want to create a webpage that has a button on it. When the button is pressed it will ad 1 to a field in the database. So on click one the counter displays 1 and on click two it shows 2 and on and on.

I want the page to display the number that has been incremented as well.

I assume that I will need a form with a submit button and the fuction should be included in the post string. I also know I will need to have a connection to the database and the field.

That is all I do know.

I thank you now for any help you can give me on this. I don't have code yet due to just getting into the planning stage.

Field_Name: the name of ur field that stores the value of 1,2,3.....
Table_Name: the name of ur table
