Save and update with uniqid in database

Question

I tried to insert the player with a unique id in the database. This model works for me, but if I give it a key update it duplicates it in my database.

Option 1

$id = uniqid();  
$insert_player_query    = mysqli_query($db,"INSERT INTO players (id,nickname,score,time_online,mapname,sid) VALUES ('$id','$player_nickname','$player_score','$player_time','$mapname','$server_id') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE score = score + VALUES(score), time_online = time_online + VALUES(time_online) WHERE id='$id'");

Option 2

Then I tried that, but it doesn't insert anything at all

$id = uniqid();  
$sql=mysqli_query($db, "SELECT * FROM players WHERE nickname='$player_nickname'");

if (mysqli_num_rows($sql) > 0) 
    {
         $insert_player_query2  = mysqli_query($db,"UPDATE players (nickname,score,time_online,mapname,sid) VALUES ($player_nickname','$player_score','$player_time','$mapname','$server_id') WHERE id='$id'");   
                
    } else {
         $insert_player_query   = mysqli_query($db,"INSERT INTO players (id,nickname,score,time_online,mapname,sid) VALUES ('$id','$player_nickname','$player_score','$player_time','$mapname','$server_id') WHERE id='$id'");   
    }

        

Answer 1

You should check field and use:

CREATE TABLE `players` (
  `id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `nickname` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
  `score` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `time_online` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
  `mapname` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
  `sid` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  UNIQUE KEY `uniq` (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=2 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;


INSERT INTO players (id,nickname,score,time_online,mapname,sid) VALUES ('1','player_nickname','1','1','mapname','1') 
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE score = score + VALUES(score), time_online = time_online + VALUES(time_online) 

Please try it.

Answer 2

Remove "where" condition. It does not make any sense in "INSERT" statement.
