PHP :: Delete All Replicated Except One

Delete From $var
Is it not possilbe to have a variable for the table name in a delete statement (mysql database). inside an if this button is hit statement I have:

$sql = "delete from $type where id_num='$number'";
mysql_query($sql);
echo "$sql";

when it echos $sql it doesnt have the $type var where the table name should be, it just leaves that blank.

Delete A Row
This should be simple enough but for some reason it's not working. The $name is a number which is being posted across when the user clicks submit. I want the PHP to then access the Database with this number and use it to delete the staff ID (which is a PK).

With this code I get the error:

Warning: ociparse(): supplied argument is not a valid OCI8-Connection resource in /homedir/ilex-s01/jmsuther/public_html/DeleteStaff.php on line 16

Warning: ociexecute(): supplied argument is not a valid OCI8-Statement resource in /homedir/ilex-s01/jmsuther/public_html/DeleteStaff.php on line 17
;

The code is:

$name = $_POST["staffnodelete"];
IF ($staffnodelete=="" )
{print "You selected $name - for deletion ";}

putenv("TNS_ADMIN=/u1/oracle/Products/shu10g/network/admin");
$con = OCILogon("username","password","10g");

$query = "DELETE FROM staff WHERE staffno = $name";
$query = $query_post [$name];
$stmt = ociparse($conn, $query);
ociexecute ($stmt);

Can't Delete Cookie
Right I am quite new to php but have managed to create a simple log in/log out thing with cookies. All was working fine and as expected until I added a new section of the site. The new section stores another cookie (latest message user has read) so that next time they visit the site it will highlight the 'new' messages.
However since adding this I can no longer log out.

Cookie Won't Delete
I'm trying to setup a simple user authenication for my site. I'm using cookies to pass the credentials between pages. But the function header() is giving me problems logging in and logging out. As you can see in the code below, I try to redirect the user to a page after setting or deleting the cookies. The scripts redirect okay, but the user never logs in and never logs out correctly. The scripts works correctly (logging in & logging out) only if I comment out the header() function.

Here's my code for setting the cookie (login.php):

What Is The Best Way To Delete File ...?
I have script that allows a user to upload a txt file for processing, filtering, to save bandwidth,instead of user reuploading the file everytime he/she does a new process on the same file, i save the file to the server, and process from that file.

Delete From Many Tables
I am trying to delete rows from a mySQL DB that consists of multiple tables. I am trying to use a function PHP Code:

Delete Records
I`m just trying to figure out the best method to delete my records and wondered if it was possible to do a DELETE statement to remove any records that don`t match. Here is my code so far:

$Query="select blah its huge:-)";
$RESULT=mysql_query($Query);
$my_rows=mysql_num_rows($RESULT);

for ($a=0; $a<$my_rows; $a++){
mysql_data_seek($RESULT, $a);
$Array = mysql_fetch_array($RESULT);
printf("%s<BR>", $Array['Email']);}

My Query returns Matched Records, what I would like to achieve is deletion of the records that didn`t match, would it be possible to do that under the printf statement. So delete all the records in the table that don`t match up to $Array['Email']??

SQL Insert And Delete?
Anyone know if there's a way to call a query but remove whatever you grabbed from the database, or would I have to do a query to retrieve what i needed, then follow it up with a delete on the same query results?

Delete An Object ?
I use OOP with PHP4 and i don't understand something.

I have 2 classes VISIT & PLANNING like that:

class clVISIT {
var $when;
var $where;

//constructor
function clVISIT($_when,$_where) {
$this->when = $_when;
$this->where = $_where;
}
}

class clPLANNING {
var $who;
var $visit = array();

//constructor
function ClPLANNING($_who) {
$this->who = $_who;
for ($i=0;$i<10;$i++) { $visit = new clVISIT("foo".$i , "foobar".$i ) ; }
}

}

Ok, in the last constructor, we can see that i create new clVISIT
object. My question is: how can i delete some of them in the same
constructor ? is there a word like "new" but to delete ?

Delete Script
PHP and MySQL and I'm having some problems getting
this script to work. I can't get this to work and I don't understand
why. I don't get an error or anything, it almost seems like the page
refreshes. I went to the phpmyadmin and the row is still in the
database. The $_GET parts work perfectly in another script and the SQL
statement works when I insert hard values in it. Any thoughts would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

<form method="POST" action="<?php print $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
<table>

<tr><td colspan="2" align="center">Yes <?php
input_radiocheck('radio','yes_no', $defaults, 'yes'); ?No <?php
input_radiocheck('radio','yes_no', $defaults, 'no'); ?>
</td></tr>

<tr><td colspan="2" align="center"><?php input_submit('save','Add'); ?>
</td></tr>

</table>
<input type="hidden" name="_submit_check" value="1"/>
</form>

<?php

function process_form() {

// Access the global variable $db inside this function
global $db;

$isbn = $_GET['isbn'];
$artist_name = $_GET['artist_name'];
$album_title = $_GET['album_title'];

if ($_POST['yes_no'] == 'yes') {

$delete_sql = "DELETE FROM lounge WHERE isbn = $isbn AND artist_name =
'$artist_name' AND album_title = '$album_title'";
// Delete the record
$db->query($delete_sql);
print "The record was deleted";
} else {
print "The record was not deleted";
}
}

?>

DELETE Syntax
i have this code: $sql = "DELETE FROM $table_name WHERE subscribeid = $userid"; it works fine, but i also want to check some other variables when i delete. i want to use:

subscribemail = $usermail
subscribecode = $usercode

i tried:

$sql = "DELETE FROM $table_name WHERE subscribeid = $userid AND subscribemail = $usermail AND subscribecode = $usercode";

but it doesnt work. i looked in the manual but couldnt see what i was doing wrong, anyone got any ideas?

Delete From Database
I have code that does not delete from a database. The same code (cut an
paste in the same file, but different function and having a different query)
works. So, of course, I tested the query interactively. I echoed the query
and did a cut and paste when interactively connect to the database. That
one worked so it isn't the query since interactively it is seeing exactly
the same thing as the code produces.

Here is the code:

function deleteCatalog($catalog) {
$query = "DELETE FROM CatalogNames WHERE sCatalogID='" . $catalog . "'";
mssql_select_db($database_Login, $_SESSION['Login']);
$result = mssql_query($query, $Login);
...
}

The $query echos:
DELETE FROM CatalogNames WHERE sCatalogID='CMP'

As an example of code that works (in the same file)
function addToCatalog($cat_id, $cat_name) {
$query = "INSERT INTO CatalogNames (sCatalogID, sCatalogName) " .
"VALUES ('" . $cat_id . "', '" . $cat_name . "')";
mssql_select_db($database_Login, $_SESSION['Login']);
$result = mssql_query($query, $_SESSION['Login']);
...
}

The second and third lines are identical (cut and pasted) as in other places
in the same code. In fact, it is only in this file that I do all the
database work. Every other function works. This is the only delete,
however.

Delete From Array

Trying To Delete Rows.
I am trying to use php to delete rows for a mysql database table, i am using the following code with $journeyIDToUse being a number that represents a automaticly incrementing primary key.

$toDelete = "DELETE FROM journeyData WHERE journeyID='$journeyIDToUse'";
mysql_query($toDelete);

This fails to delete the row. I have tried changing $journeyIDToUse to a number and that worked so i thought that the variable might be at fault but the following query works so that rules that out

$searchString = "SELECT * FROM journeyData WHERE journeyID='$journeyIDToUse'";
$result = mysql_query($searchString);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

Can't Delete Cookies
For some strange reason I can't seem to delete cookies. First it kept adding a new cookie a dot in front of the host when I set an already existing one with a negative expiry but now nothing happens at all.

The code I'm using (with the domain changed) is:

setcookie( "member_id", "4", time()-3600, "/", "www.mysite.net" );

The cookie remains unchanged and I have no idea why. The name, value, path, and host are correct but I still get nothing. I also tried:

setcookie( "member_id", "", time()-3600);

Again to no avail. It doesn't work on IE or FF.
