Hi.
try this
<?php
mysql_connect('localhost', 'login', 'password')
or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("election") or die ("Could not select election database");

$result = mysql_query("update election set Votes = Votes + 1 where
Name='TheGuy'");
if (!$result) {
$message = 'Invalid update: ' . mysql_error() . "\n";
$message .= 'Whole query: ' . $result;
}
mysql_close($link);
die($message);
?>

or this

<?php
$connect = mysql_connect('localhost', 'login', 'password');
if(!$connect){
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}

$db = mysql_select_db("election");
if(!$db){
die ("Could not select election database");
}

$result = mysql_query("update election set Votes = Votes + 1 where
Name='TheGuy'");
if (!$result) {
$message = 'Invalid update: ' . mysql_error() . "\n";
$message .= 'Whole query: ' . $result;
}
mysql_close($link);
die($message);
?>

regards
