Update one table if value is equal in other table

I may have tried to reach too high this time, but I hope this can be done. I have a table called liga like this:

uid  |  name  |  games  |  points  |
___________________________________
1    | Daniel |    0    |    0     |
2    | Mikkel |    0    |    0     |

Where uid is short for user id. Then I have a table called kamp2 like this:

uid  |  k1    |  k1r    |  k2   |  k2r   |  week  |
__________________________________________________
1    |  1     |  2-1    |  X    |  2-2   |  14    |
2    |  2     |  1-1    |  1    |  2-1   |  14    |

These data is submitted by the user (attached to the uid).
Now, what I would like is a form, where I write the results of a soccermatch, something like:

<input type="text" name="k1">... and so on...

... and then I should write the correct results. So, to my actual question:
Let's say the first match (k1=the winner(1X2) and k1r=result) was 2-1, I would like the form to update the liga-table with something like:

If (k1 == 1 AND k1r == 2-1) UPDATE liga SET point = point + 5 WHERE uid = $uid;
else if 
(k1r == 2-1 AND k1 != 1) UPDATE liga SET point = point + 3 WHERE uid = $uid ;
else if 
(k1 == 1 AND k1r != 2-1) UPDATE liga SET point = point + 1 WHERE uid = $uid ;

But how is this possible? Should I SELECT the kamp2 table first and then use it or maybe JOIN the two tables or how? If this question is too "big" to answer, just let me know :) I don't want you to give me the exact code, just to guide me :) Hope it's okay!

You can either use the concept of triggers to achieve this task:

https://www.sitepoint.com/how-to-create-mysql-triggers/

You'll have to create an after Update/insert trigger on kamp2 table and in that trigger you'll update liga table

Or else handle this by backend php script.

You can join the tables together and then do the update with CASE logic:

UPDATE liga l JOIN
       kamp2 k
       ON l.uid = k.uid
    SET point = (CASE WHEN k.k1 = '1' and k.k1r = '2-1' THEN point + 5
                      WHEN k.k1r = '2-1' AND k.k1 <> '1' THEN point + 3 
                      WHEN k.k1 = '1' AND k.k1r <> '2-1' THEN point + 1 
                      ELSE point
                 END)
    WHERE l.uid = $uid ;

you can't update the same record with condition of that as well.

You need to use sub query to update that.

UPDATE data_table t, (SELECT DISTINCT ID, NAME, VALUE FROM data_table WHERE VALUE IS NOT NULL AND VALUE != '') t1 SET t.VALUE = t1.VALUE WHERE t.ID = t1.ID AND t.NAME = t1.NAME
