    <p>I am developing an auction system with a limit or max bid scenario using php mySQL(MyISAM) and PDO, using two tables </p> <p><strong>auction</strong></p> <pre><code> Id | title | seller | currentbid | limit(max bid) | dated | bidder </code></pre> <p><strong>bids</strong></p> <pre><code> Id | auctionid | bid | bidder | dated </code></pre> <p>After user placed a bid the following happens (I am using PDO prepared statements)</p> <pre><code> $record = fetch (‘Select * from auction where id = :id’, array(‘id’ =&gt; $id)) $increment = 1; $postedBid = $_REQUEST[‘postedBid’]; $currentBid = $record[‘currentbid’]; $limitBid = $record[‘limit’]; If($postedBid &lt; $currentBid + $increment){ Return;(without processing bid!) }else{ If($limitBid !&gt; $postedBid){ Insert into bids (auctionid, bid, bidder, dated(timestamp)) values ($auctioned, $postedBid, ……); Update auction set currentbid = $postedBid, limit = $postedBid …. }else{ Insert into bids (auctionid, bid, bidder, dated(timestamp)) values ($auctioned, $postedBid, ……); Insert into bids (auctionid, bid, bidder, dated(timestamp)) values ($auctioned, $postedBid + $increment, ……); Update auction set currentbid = $postedBid + increment, limit = $limitBid …. } } </code></pre> <p>i want to know two things</p> <p>1- if this approach is ok and how can I improve this</p> <p>2- How can I avoid concurrent bids. I don’t know how to apply locks using PDO. Appreciate any example queries using locks or any other approach to deal with this problem</p> <p>Thanks </p> <p>(Apologies for using mixed type of code)</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
