我的观察柜台出了什么问题

I am trying to make a view counter that counts every time someone views the page.

my code:

$old_views = $thread_view_count;
$new_views = $thread_view_count + 1;
$sql3 = mysql_query("UPDATE forum_posts SET view_count='.$new_views.' WHERE id='.$thread_id.'");

The counter doesn't update the views of the page. I am not getting any errors, it just doesn't work.

Please help me, I am new to PHP so don't give me a hard time and destroy my self confidence

Thanks

You are mixing your single and double quotes. You start with double quotes but then insert the variables using single quotes, which will be evaluated as a string in the query.

$sql3 = mysql_query('UPDATE forum_posts SET view_count='.(integer)$new_views.' WHERE id='. (integer)$thread_id);

Also notice I cast your values as integers so you know an integer is being passed into the database.

easier

$sql3 = mysql_query("UPDATE forum_posts SET view_count=view_count+1 WHERE id='.$thread_id.'");
