I got a problem when trying to increment by 1 on given field in my db. I tried with and without active records.
My functions look like this (in my model)
function _set_reads($id){
$this->db->set('reads', 'reads+1', FALSE)
$this->db->where('id', $id);
$this->db->update('article');
}
and
function _set_reads($id){
$sql = 'update article set reads=reads+1 where id=?';
$this->db->query($sql, array($id));
}
I get the same error in both cases and it's the following error message:
Error Number: 1064
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'reads+1 WHERE `id` = '15'' at line 1
UPDATE `article` SET `reads` = reads+1 WHERE `id` = '15'
I am using the latest version of MAMP
