php rating system need help

[Mayank23]

i made a rating system, however each time i would click on like for the first name, it counts the vote for the second name, and when click on the like for the second name, it still counts the vote for the second name. please help.

<?php
include 'connection/connection.php';



$selection = "SELECT * FROM testrating";
$result = mysql_query($selection);

while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$id = $row['ID'];


echo $row['name']." ".$row['name_votes']."<a href=\"index.php?id=$id\">like</a>";

$enterrating = "UPDATE testrating SET name_votes=name_votes +1 WHERE ID = \"$id\" ";



}
?>
<?php
mysql_query($enterrating);

?>

nvm, i got it to work after playing around for little bit.
i got it to work by using another php file to add 1 to the name.
so like,
i included this like.php

<?php

include 'connection/connection.php';
$id = $_GET['id'];
// using mysql query to get current ratings


$enterrating = "UPDATE testrating SET name_votes=name_votes +1 WHERE ID = \"$id\" ";
mysql_query($enterrating);









?>
