I have the syntax

mysql_query("INSERT INTO ....);");

If this is successful I want to do update a column in one of my tables

$query =3D "UPDATE ... ";
mysql_query($query);

How do I test if the INSERT INTO mysql_query, in order to trigger the =
UPDATE?

You could check the mysql section of the documentation, where you will find
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-affected-rows.php which will tell
you how many rows were affected by your INSERT. Alternatively, if you are
using Innodb tables, you could look at using transactions.

You could use the REPLACE syntax in mysql
