I am trying to have my function increment by 1 a value in mysql, but it only works for once - from zero to 1. Then it won't increment. I have noticed that I need to add (int) in order to get it do this, so I guess there is something to do with data type. Do you have any hints?
$mod_seq = $this->db2->query("select mod_sequence from tbl_release_info where release_id = '$release_id';");
$current_modsequence = (int)$mod_seq++;
$update_query_release_info = "update tbl_release_info set mod_sequence = '$current_modsequence' where release_id = '$rid';
