whats wrong in this code...

Table

table q1

	q1	uae	tunisia	palestine	lebanon
	1	1

$sql="SELECT * FROM q1";
$result=mysql_query($sql);

	$uae=$uae+1;

$update="update q1 SET uae='$uae' where q1='1'";
	$result1 = mysql_query($update);

You never pull uae from the query. It's not set to anything when you add 1 to it. Besides, if all you need is to add one to the existing value, there's no need to read it first. Just add one to the field directly.
