sql inserting twice - php

Question

Hello i have a sql statement that ranks my records and inserts the ranks into a database.
The problem i am having is that when i run the script. It deletes the old rankings. And inserts the new rankings fine, but it inserts every ranking twice. So there will be 2 rank 1's, 2 rank 2's, ect ect.
The kicker to my problem, is if i delete all the records in phpmyadmin. Then run the script. It doesnt make duplicates.
I tried just letting the script delete, to debug if the delete script is working, and it deleted all the rows fine. Hence im really confused :(
if you could look at my code and give me some insight that'd be awesome. Thank you

Answer 1

You are using Group By without aggregate function so change your query to:
$Top_1000_Sql = "Select Count(games) as gameCount, overall_games_user.ID as UserID, Name FROM overall_games, overall_games_user WHERE overall_games.User_ID = overall_games_user.ID AND DATE(Date_Updated) = DATE(NOW()) GROUP BY UserID ORDER BY Games DESC LIMIT 10000";
Also note change in GROUP BY UserID in above SQL
In $Games_Played variable fetch value of count:
$Games_Played = $Top_Player["gameCount"];

Answer 2

Try Changing VALUES to VALUE in your query.
Also it sometimes so happens that you have an .htaccess to point every thing to the index file. Naturally the browser will request the script twice, once for the script it self, the other is for the favicon.
The fix is to Try to edit the .htaccess to prevent redirection to the index file when the browser is requesting for favicon.ico
Try these two things. I hope it would solve your problem :) Else let me know again.
