Excuse me? I thought you can transfer money through paypal, not a database (otherwise I would be rich...)

You need 2 queries.

1) UPDATE table SET money = money - 1 WHERE user = 1 LIMIT 1
2) UPDATE table SET money = money + 1 WHRE user = 2 LIMIT 2

Of course this wont check if the first user have the money, so you will have to check that too with a query in the beginning

What is 1 limit 1 and 2 limit 2?

More correct solution will be:

- check balance and transfer possibility
- transfer from account 1 to "wallet", decrease "balance 1"
- check transfer (approve or reject)
- if "approve": transfer from "wallet" to account 2, increase "balance 2", decrease "wallet"
- if "reject": transfer from "wallet" to account 1, increase "balance 1", decrease "wallet"
