[PHP] delete query doesnt work (fixed)

2003-02-07 Thread Sunfire
hi...
my delete query :
mysql_query(delete from members where company like '$delete');
now works..this is how i fixed it...

in the form that submits the $delete var add this:
input type=hidden name=flag_delete value=$delete
now in query change $delete to $flag_delete... and poof it magically works


still need to debug the edit system since all the records tend to get
changed if someone submits the same data in the fields for that record...

It's not magic, and John Holmes already explained it to
you.

If you do not pass a variable via GET, POST, or as a
cookie, and you also do not store it as a session variable,
why would you expect it to exist on another page? This
demonstrates a very fundamental misunderstanding.

You might want to start with the basics and learn a bit
about how the Web works - how data is passed, etc.
