Only updating the database?

I’m only going to update a value back and fourth. I was told that instead of accessing all the way to the table and the row, I could just update the database value and make it even faster. Is this true?

mysql_connect(“host”,”user”,”password”);
mysql_select_db(‘mydatabase’);
mysql_query(‘UPDATE table SET ($serverstats)’);

I have no IDEA what he might have meant, but the code over is currently my code as of now.

Success!
