I have the MySQL table "Messages" which stores the User's Name, Message and ID and I also have a table "Users" which stores there Id, Ip, User agent and Points as well as Password! I was trying to make it so each time a user posts a message in my chat they would gain 1 point, but I didn't know how to do this and google wasn't very helpful! My PHP version is 5.3 if that's any help!

You should redesign your table to
users table has id, username
messages table has id, ip, useragent, message, point.
each time a user post a message, update its record in the messages table with new message and point + 1, like this in pseudo sql:
update messages set message="new message", point=point+1 where id="1234"
