[PHP] Deleting from a SQL db
Can anyone help me understand why this code is not deleting the row from the MS SQL db like it should. ? ... $query = DELETE FROM users WHERE user = '$user'; $result = @ mssql_query($query) or die(Unable to delete user); if($result = 0) echo User successfully deleted.br\n; ... ? I am running PHP 4.1.2 binary on Windows NT 4.0 with MS SQL Server 2000 running on Windows 2000. -- Joshua E Minnie/CIO [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 616.276.9690 Fax: 616.342.8750 Nextel: 616.862.2847 Don't work for recognition, but always do work worthy of recognition. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Replace the die(...) with die(mysql_error()) and the message should tell you what's wrong.

The script is returning a positive integer from the mssql_query() function. I am not seeing it ever throw an error. It just doesn't delete. Here is the URL of the running script: http://www.acsurf.net/php_db/sql_test.php.

RE: [PHP] Deleting from a SQL db
Print the SQL statement $query just before you call mssql_query() - make sure the SQL going in is what you think it is. Also, check mssql_affected_rows() after the call to make sure something was modified.

mssql_affected_rows() Sorry, that should be mssql_rows_affected(). Stuart -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I don't know why this didn't throw an error in other parts of the script but it works fine now that I added them.
