PHP - Php Delete

Hi,

I need a simple command to delete all rows where userID = 2567
I had a shot but didn't work: DELETE FROM * WHERE userID='2567' || usgID='2567'

My website is spammed by this user so I want to delete all records by this userID in my database.

Hope someone can help and thanks!

I get registered spammers on my website, they seem to bypass captcha (manually spamming I believe) and we all know why IP ban is no good so I want to be able to simply delete all rows on my database where this user comes from.

Can you use one query to delete from all tables with WHERE userID= '$userID' ??

hi. just a quick question about a delete link i have on a page ive made.

basically with the code i have currently...nothing at all happens when i click delete...and i cant for the life of me see the problem.

here is the code for the page where the delete link is.

$sql=mysql_query("SELECT items.itemname, cat.catid, cat.category FROM items,cat WHERE cat.catid=items.catid");
$temp_item = "";
while($res=mysql_fetch_array($sql))
{
echo "<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' width='700'><tr>";
if($res['category'] != $temp_cat )
    {
 echo "<td width='30%'>" . "<b>" . $res['category'] . "</b>" . "</td>" . "<td width='30%'><a href='delcat.php?id=$res[catid]'>Delete Category</a></td></tr>";
$temp_cat=$res['category'];
}




and here is the code for the delete page that should do the deleting.

include_once("config_class.php");

 $db = new db();         // open up the database object
 $db->connect();            // connect to the database

//getting id of the data from url
$id = $_GET['id'];

//deleting the row from table
$result=mysql_query("DELETE FROM cat WHERE listid=$id");

//redirecting to the display page (index.php in our case)
header("Location:list.php?id=$id");


as i said nothing happens...please help anybody?

nevermind delete

ok, so how would I insert a link to remove a photo from this code:
Code: [Select]
<?php
                  include("connect_to_mysql_1.php");

$query  = "SELECT link, id FROM products where page123=$page ORDER BY listorder ASC ";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{

$link = stripslashes($row['link']);
$id = stripslashes($row['id']);

?>
      <li id="arrayorder_<?php echo $id ?>"> <img src="<?php echo $link; ?>" width="300" height="250"/>
     
<div class="clear"></div>
      </li>
      <?php } ?>
     
    </ul>
the images are able to move around but I need to know a way to keep photos with their own delete link.  I am thinking of someway using listorder and the page123 to do it.  could anybody help.  I can't really think of a good way to describe the issue...

I am building a user interface to manipulate a database I have in mySQL and one of the functions is deleting records from a table I call Titles. Given my primary key is mID and a column in the table is Title, here is the code I'm working with:

$sql="delete from myDb.Titles where mID=" . $_GET['mID'];

if (mysql_query($sql))
{
    $target="delete.php?";
}

echo "Successfully deleted title: " . $_GET['Title'];

The actual delete itself is working fine and the record deletes properly. What I am trying to do is display the Title field associated with the record being deleted and it's not working. I don't know if I am misusing the GET function or not, but that's where I am. Any help would be appreciated.

This script add and delete data to the database, it add it correctly but it's not able to delete it.
I appreciate somebody more expert to me to help me.
thank you.

e.g. $itemlisted = 5

  echo $diffrence / 60 / 60;
          if (($diffrence / 60 / 60) >= $hours) {
mysql_query('DELETE FROM `hash_codes` WHERE `addedon` = '. ($diffrence / 60 / 60) >= $hours .'') or die(mysql_error());
          }
}
}

And I am trying to call it by
checkHashs(24);

What I am trying to do is make it so when that function is ran it will delete all oh the guerys that have the `addedon` row over X hours(24 hours in this case).

Any ideas?
