Paste the output of var_dump($_POST) inside the if condition.

Echo all the variables you have and ensure you received values before using update

$update = mysql_query("UPDATE table SET vota='$vota' WHERE ID='$id'");

Also try with the single quotes like above.

if (mysql_num_rows($update) > 0) { 
echo "rows affected";
} else echo "rows doesnot affected";

Also add the above statements and check whether it affected the rows or not.

@raja, Even I had thought he needed quotes, but no; quotes are not required for numeric fields. That's why I asked him to dump $_POST.
