If you go to this page it has all "Add", "Edit" and "Delete" all in one
script. I got it working last night. Up to this I had been able to do the
Add and Delete but not the Edit, so this has it all . Great for beginners
and has a full tutorial previous to this script.
All the best

Subject: [PHP-DB] DELETE FROM.... Question
Hello, I am new to the list, so please bear with me! I am creating a
database system that will use PHP4 and MySQL 3.22. I've got things working
excellent now... I can add, list, and modify records from the PHP scripts I
have created, but I can't delete them. I can do them manually by going into
MySQL and issuing the appropriate commands, but not through the PHP script..
Here is the main part of the PHP script:
mysql_query ("DELETE FROM events WHERE event_id = '$event_id'");
and I have the $variables pre, defined, and the mysql_include and
use_databse, and all that jazz in an include.inc, which I have set to use at
the top of the script.
I have also tried mysql_db_query, and nothing seems to work.
The database is called domains, and the table is called events, and the ID
is the event_id field.
If anyone knows of any good places relevant to this problem, I would greatly
appreciate it if they could e-mail me links to them, or maybe some sample
code on how to delete records.
Here is some more info, if it helps:
When I delete it manually, it deletes, but through the script it does not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
