Delete For MySQL
I'm an experienced java/C++/SQL programmer who hasnt used PHP. I'm looking for some generic database access pages for doing dds, edits, deletes, etc., hopefully with some error handling. I'd rather start with a basic shell of code, so I don't have to reinvent the wheel, and can just change connection string, database fields, etc.

Delete MySql Row By Date
Can someone help me with the following problem: I have a table that includes a column for "last application date", let's simply call it "date". Now the problem is how to automatically delete rows where the information in the "date" column has gone old, let's say by -86400 (1 day). Example: today's date is April 11th, which means that all rows with the info April 10th in the date column would get deleted.

MySQL - Delete Across Two Tables. OT
i cant find the MySQL newsgroup, however i am hoping to pick up on some expert advice from php/mysql gurus here. I'm having some trouble performing a delete across two tables. The tables i have are: questionnaires (id, name); questionnaire_questions (questionnaires_id, id, name, qf_type) The questionnaire_questions table contains a list of questions for a specific questionnaire (indicated by the questonnaires_id). I would like to remove a questionnaire, and when doing so all corresponding questionnaire_questions who have matching id's (questionnaires.id = questionnaire_questions.questionnaires_id). I have this statement, however it only works if a questionnaire has questions... however i would like it to delete even if no questions exist for that specific questionnaire. The SQL i am using is: delete questionnaires, questionnaire_questions FROM questionnaires, questionnaire_questions WHERE questionnaires.id = questionnaire_questions.questionnaires_id AND questionnaires.id = THE_QUESTIONAIRE_TO_DELETE_ID

DELETE Problem With MySQL
I've been learning using PHP and MySQL from the tutorial at freewebmasterhelp.com. Everything works fine, except deleting things. The script is invoked with a URL like this: http://www.example.org/test/delete_entry.php?id=35 And here's the script: <? include("dbinfo.inc.php"); $id = $_POST['id']; mysql_connect($server, $user, $password); $query = "DELETE FROM test1 WHERE id = '$id'"; @mysql_select_db($database) or die("Unable to select database."); mysql_query($query); mysql_close(); header("Location: entries.php"); ?> The dbinfo.inc.php file defines the variables $server, $database, $user and $password. The login part works.

How To Delete Only Certain Text In A Mysql Row?
I have a table setup that has a column setup as friends and users can add friends to this column no problem. What I would like to know is how to delete only certain parts of the text of the row/cell where their friends are stored. The friends text is seperated by the following : " , " That is a space on either side and comma in the middle of the space. I know how to explode the results and put into an array to display the reuslts, but is there a way to delete only one of the friends if the text is as follows. , thomas , frank , irene , I think you can get the idea. Is it possible to do this or should I just update the whole cell without the array[$i] result being the friend?

I am building a lunch ordering system for a company. The employees can login, order lunch, and the administrator can see what everyone ordered for lunch in the admin panel.

Is there a way to clear those values they enter at a certain time in MySQL.

Delete Duplicates In MySQL
I have a database in MySql which has 2 fields. The 1st field is called id which is the primary key. The 2nd field is called full_add where there are some duplicates. I would like to delete all the duplicates in the full_add field leaving only 1 record behind. It does not matter if the corresponding primary key gets deleted as well because the primary key is not related to any other table or database. I prefer not to use temporary tables or create new tables because my webhost does not allocate much memory to me & my database is quite big.

How To Delete MySQL Database.
I've got three hostings with the GoDaddy hosting service. The hostings are supposed to provide only one MySQL database each. I've just recently noticed in the phpMyAdmin program that separate databases, each with the name "test," has appeared in two of the three hostings. I don't know how they got there. I didn't put them there. I contacted GoDaddy's technical support. They said that the "test" databases automatically comes with the phpMyAdmin program. Of course, that's not right. Anyway they said that I could delete the extra database without damaging anything.

Php/mysql Insert, Update, Delete All-in-one
I have a check box form in an admin area, that links various related tables into one. These check box results are stored in an array, and then looped, there are in fact four groups of arrays, but the array length could become large (i.e. dozens - not hundreds) The issue I have is that from the one form multiple things need to occur. - If a box is checked and the record doesn't exist a new record needs to be inserted. - If a box is checked and the record does exist, it should be ignored (as it already exists). - If the box is unchecked and the record exists, it should be deleted. - If the box is unchecked and the record doesn't exist it should be ignored (the record doesn't exists). I'm looking for the logic and process (rather than being hand fed code ) Can this be done with 1 (or more likely 2) sql statements. Or do I have to loop thru the arrays, checking the existance and then applying a specific sql statement depending upon checked status and the records existance. Someone mentioned using IF() in the sql statement, but I am not familiar with that one.

MySQL DELETE: How To Get Page To Refresh?
I have a script that deletes records in a table. It works fine. However, it redirects the browser back to the page and the record stills shows there. Only after the page is manually refreshed does it disappear. I've used both header("Refresh...") and header("Location...") to accomplish the redriect, but no dice. The only thing that seems to work is if a unique URL is pushed into the address bar, which I do by appending md5(microtime()) to the end of the redirect URL.

MySQL Delete Only Deleting Content
I am working on a content editor for a client who wants tha ability to add new page. But he also has to be able to delete page. The pages are refered by their PID column which is set to auto increment. However, when I delete a row, for some reason, it deletes the content in the row, but not the row itself. So, I have an empy row left which gets assigned a PID when I drop the PID column and reconstruct it with the new auto_increment numbers. What could be causing this? Or is there a way to renumber the auto_increments after a page has been deleted? My coding is a little rusty right now as I am out of practice. had to have a reference manual by my site at all times. PHP Code: $sql     = "DELETE FROM $db_table WHERE PID = $id LIMIT 1"; $result = @mysql_query($sql, $db_connect) or die(mysql_error()); $drop     = "ALTER TABLE $db_table DROP COLUMN PID"; $result = @mysql_query($drop, $db_connect) or die(mysql_error()); $add    = "ALTER TABLE $db_table ADD PID INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY FIRST"; $result = @mysql_query($add, $db_connect) or die(mysql_error());

Not Able To Delete
I've written a script to display all records in a database table and allow the user to select a record for deletion by entering it's ID number into a form at the bottom of the page. When they click on the Submit button, it refreshes the page & shows the entire record that they selected and it asks if they're sure that they want to delete it. There's 2 radio buttons that that allow them to select either "Yes" or "No". Everything is working fine up to that point. Where I run into problems is that no matter whether they choose yes or no, the record does not get deleted.
