PHP - Cannot Delete A Field In Mysql Using Php!
I have made a simple form where users who have been subscribed and unsubscribe by inserting their email address.
In my database using PHPMyAdmin, my database to store the emails is 'Links', the table is 'email' and the fields are the 'id' and 'emailaddress'. What I have tried is making a text input field, where the user ill insert his or her email address, to unsubscribe on the website. As a result the user's field for his or her email address will be delete in the database which is saving the emails for all users who have subscribed. My HTML codes a Code: [Select] <p>Subscribe for newsletters:</p> <img src="images/k-newsletter-icon.png" width="96" height="96" alt="subscri"/> <form action="index.php" method="post"> <input type="text" size="25" placeholder="Your email address..." name="enter"/> <input class="submit" type="submit" value="Subscribe" name="subscribe"/> </form> My PHP codes a Code: [Select] <?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { $email = $_POST['enter']; @mysql_connect ('localhost', 'root', '') or die ('Error'); @mysql_select_db ('links') or die ('Error'); if (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) { echo "Not an email"; return false; } else { mysql_query("DELETE FROM email WHERE emailaddress ='$email'"); echo "deleted"; } } ?> When I test it,it is not working, as I see the email which was saved, is still in the database! Help! Similar TutorialsI'm trying to set it so that it will delete an entire populated directory based upon a value in the database then after finishing that to go back and delete that row in the database. my current code is Code: [Select] <?php $page_title = "Central Valley LLC | Photo Addition" ?> <?php include("header.php"); ?> <?php include("nav.html"); ?> <div id="content"> <form action="delprod.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <label for="which">Choose A Product To Remove:</label> <?php $con = mysql_connect("localhost","phoenixi_cv","centraladmin"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("phoenixi_cvproducts", $con); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Products"); echo "<select name=\"which\">"; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo "<option "; echo "value=\"" . $row['id'] .

'/' . $entry); } } rmdir($mydir); $result = mysql_query("DELETE * FROM Producs WHERE id=$_POST['which']"); ?> Thank you in advance for all your help. any easier ways of approaching this will be welcome as well Hi: I'm going crazy trying to do the following: I'm making a job registration process where the user registers on one php page to the website, must acknowlege and email receipt using an activate php page, then is directed to upload their C.V. (resume) based on the email address they enter in the active page output. I then run an upload page to store the resume in teh MySQL db based on the users email address in the same record. If I isolate the process of the user registering to the db, it works perfectly. If I isolate the file upload process into the db, it works perfect. I simply cannot upload teh file to the existing record based on teh email form field matching the user_email field in the db. With the processes together, teh user is activated, but teh file is not uploaded. Maybe I've simply been at this too long today, but am compeled to get through it by end day. If anyone can help sugest a better way or help me fix this, I will soo greatly appreciate it. My code is as follows for the 2 pages. ---------activate.php------- <?php session_start(); include ('reg_dbc.php'); if (!isset($_GET['usr']) && !isset($_GET['code']) ) { $msg = "ERROR: The code does not match.."; exit(); } $rsCode = mysql_query("SELECT activation_code from subscribers where user_email='$_GET[usr]'") or die(mysql_error()); list($acode) = mysql_fetch_array($rsCode); if ($_GET['code'] == $acode) { mysql_query("update subscribers set user_activated=1 where user_email='$_GET[usr]'") or die(mysql_error()); echo "<h3><center>Thank You! This is step 2 of 3. </h3>Your email is confirmed. Please upload your C.V. now to complete step 3.</center>"; } else { echo "ERROR: Incorrect activation code... not valid"; } ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" /> <title>Job application activation</title> </head> <body> <center> <br/><br/><br/> <p align="center"> <form name="form1" method="post" action="upload.php" style="padding:5px;"> <p>Re-enter you Email : <input name="email" type="text" id="email"/></p></form> <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.php" method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="4000000"> Upload your C.V.: <input name="userfile" type="file" id="userfile"> <input name="upload" type="submit" id="upload" value="Upload your C.V."/></form> </p> </center> </body> </html> --------upload.php---------- <?php session_start(); if (!isset($_GET['usr']) && !isset($_GET['code']) ) { $msg = "ERROR: The code does not match.."; exit(); } if(isset($_POST['upload']) && $_FILES['userfile']['size'] > 0) { $fileName = $_FILES['userfile']['name']; $tmpName = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']; $fileSize = $_FILES['userfile']['size']; $fileType = $_FILES['userfile']['type']; $email = $_POST['email']['user_email']; $fp = fopen($tmpName, 'r'); $content = fread($fp, filesize($tmpName)); $content = addslashes($content); fclose($fp); if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $fileName = addslashes($fileName); } include 'reg_dbc.php'; $query = "UPDATE subscribers WHERE $email = user_email (name, size, type, content ) ".

If you are wondering where it pulls the `id` variable, it is on the previous page as a hidden attribute. The code is posted he http://codepad.org/Fck5s2zz The attached file (delete_user.php) is the same as the code in the link above. The same code is also posted below. [text] What I am trying to do is create a function that will allow me to delete a user from my mysql database. I have an HTML select that outputs the username(s) using the function get_admin_username() (The function is posted below) There is also a HTML form I am using to make this happen. (Also posted below) In other words I would select the user I would like to delete, and click submit which will then delete the user from the database. The problem I am having is I do not know how to pass values from the HTML select, or the form, or even use the submit button value. I am not sure If I need to create a function to achieve this. Basically I don't know what to do this at all for that matter. I thought I might have gotten close but I thought wrong, and failed. I was told (in the php irc) that my method was way off and wrong but was given no help after that. I do have an example to show you of how I tried to accomplish this, but being told that I was wrong I did not feel that it was even worth posting it. I am lost and have been at this for two days now. I am a noobe but I do understand allot (I think). Someone, anyone, please help.

[/code] tags added. basically could somebody help me with information on having a php script that deletes mysql rows which are older than 3 hours old. I know MYSQL table will need a date/time column but how can I only target ones which are 3 hours old+. Thanks I am trying to delete child nodes using the parent_id, id. like the following...
id | parent_id
1 | 0
2 | 1
3 | 2
deleting id 2 should also delete id 3. How to get the follow code to work?
i am using mysql 5.1. this code gives a query syntax error on line number... but no error message.
"CREATE TABLE test( `id` INT(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `parent_id` INT(8) NOT NULL, `title` TEXT NOT NULL, FOREIGN KEY (parent_id) REFERENCES test (id) ON DELETE CASCADE, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=INNODB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 ";when i use the following code, there is no errors. "CREATE TABLE test( `id` INT(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `parent_id` INT(8) NOT NULL, `title` TEXT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=myisam DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 ";notice in the above code that i have changed the word INNODB to MYISAM for the ENGINE and removed the FOREIGN KEY. this code works but no "on delete cascade". I have a table with several fields, one of which is an amount of days after which the row will be deleted. Every time the script is run, I want to check for old entries and delete them. How would I do this? Hi all, I am currently learning PHP and have the homework to produce a function that can delete a row in a MySQL database table by clicking on an item in a drop-down menu in a web page. The code I have produced up until now is this: <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html lang="de"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <title>E3_Artikel_Löschen</title> </head> <body> <form method = "GET"> <?php $anr=""; try { $pdo = new PDO ('mysql:dbname=bestelldatenbank;host=localhost;charset=utf8', 'root', ''); } catch (PDOException $error){ die ($error->getMessage()); } ?> <div> <p> <label for="artikel">Artikel: </label> <select id="artikel" name="artikel"> <?php $sqlSelect = "SELECT anr, name FROM artikel ORDER BY anr ASC"; foreach ($pdo->query($sqlSelect) as $row) { echo "<option value=$row[0]>$row[0] | $row[1]</option>\n"; $anr = $row[0]; } ?> </select> <input type = "submit" value = "Delete row" /> </p> </div> <?php function artLoeschen($anr) { echo "Function called $anr"; if(isset($_GET[$anr])) { $anr = $_GET[$anr]; $sqlDelete = $pdo->query("DELETE FROM artikel WHERE anr = :anr"); if ($stmt = $pdo->prepare($sqlDelete)) { $stmt->bindParam(':anr', $anr); $stmt->execute(); } echo "<h2><b>Artikel gelöscht!</b></h2>"; } } ?> </form> </body> </html> So, I have observed the following when I run the script in a browser: 1. The HTML works as expected and I get a drop-down list with the article number and description of each item in the affected table. 2. I can click on an item in the list and it populates the top item in the drop-down list. 3. When I click delete row, the selected item is not deleted. 4. There are no error messages returned but the function is not executed (at least not as I would like to expect).
I have obviously missed something or made a mistake in my code. I would be very grateful for any help...this is driving me mad! :) Regards, Kevin Hi, I'm new to the forum so this could go in the MySQL section but I'm not sure. I am trying to make a page that will list all records from a column in HTML table and have a delete button to remove a specific record. I have got to the part where I have listed the records in a table. Note: Only records from a specific column ('links') are printed. Here is the code: Code: [Select] $con = mysql_connect("localhost","***","***"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("***", $con); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM main"); echo "<table border='1'> <tr> <th>Current links</th> </tr>"; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>" . $row['links'] . "</td>"; echo "</tr>"; } echo "</table>"; mysql_close($con); How would I go about adding a delete button next to each record to delete that specific record? Thanks for any help. I have a form that submits a record and saves it to the database, I've got that working already, I'm trying to figure out if there is a cleaner way to delete a record with a button that gets a value from the unique key, in this case 'id' here is how the delete button looks like: // get info from table $query = "SELECT id, Title, Message FROM table_name"; $result = mysql_query($query); //displaying all data while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { echo" <div class='status'><h3>{$row['Title']} <br></h3>" . " <h5>{$row['Message']} <br><br></h5>"; $id = $row['id']; //trying to get unique key from database //delete button echo "</div> <form action='delete.php' method='post' /> <input type='hidden' name='delete' value='yes' /> <input type='hidden' name='id' value='$id' /> <input type='submit' value='remove' /></form>"; } As you can see, i'm trying to give $id a unique value but for some reason i'm not getting it. The delete.php code looks like this: if (isset($_POST['delete']))// check if delete was clicked { $query = "DELETE FROM table_name WHERE id='$id'"; echo "$id Deleted successfully"; } elseif(!mysql_query($query, $db_server)) { echo "DELETE failed: $query<br />" . myql_error() . "<br /><br />"; } mysql_close(); I'm new to php and still learning so, if you think there are other ways to do this, please let me know, the button won't do anything to the data. Thanks in advance Hello,
First of all I'd like to say thank you for all the great information on the forums, I've been reading a lot on here lately.
I've started to make a website where users can log in and submit items to a database, which is then displayed on another page.
If Tom and Bill both post 10 items, all 20 items will be displayed on the "listings" page, however on the main log in screen Tom will only see his own 10 items and Bill will see his own 10 items.
This is all working perfectly, however, I now need to add a delete button so that they can delete specific items.
I have loosely followed this tutorial here to get the table to display as I want it (amongst a few other things, such as the user logins) http://www.wickham43...mphptomysql.php
I've added the delete button in the PHP loop for each row, I just can't figure out how to delete the specific row when clicked.
Any help would be really appreciated

In my mysql database i have a field that records peoples details one part of the details is their county/region they live in. It records the county in a normal varchar field however i need a simple php script that searching the database and finds the most common county so i can then return to the screen where the most popular region for my members. Thank you for reading. I have this script running: <?php $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM jobs WHERE event = 'Yes' ORDER BY title"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { ?> How do I check if a field is empty and NOT display it...? For instance it has a 'applied' field, if that is empty I dont want it to display, however I still need the event = 'Yes' part. Hi i have the following code Code: [Select] $orderFetch->order="3"; mysql_query("UPDATE `categories` SET order=order-1 WHERE `order` > $orderFetch->order"); i wish to minus -1 from all the "order" fields in categories that are over a certain value i.e 3. But however this code is not working can anyone tell me where i'm going wrong? thank you I have a mysql field that I want to store a php variable in and then retrieve it.
Example:
Color table has the field named colorBackground with the value of #FF0000
CSS table has the field named cssBackground with the value of .background { background-color: #444444; }
What I want to do is make Color/colorBackground a variable {{$backgroundcolor = rsColor['colorBackground']
Then I want to change the CSS/cssBackground value to .background { background-color:$backgroundcolor; }
Creating the $backgroundcolor works fine. I'm just not sure how to put the $backgroundcolor in my CSS/cssBackground field.
Hi, when I submit a form I want to update a field in the "daterange" table. In the form the id field (RID) from "daterange" is selected prior to submit. Basically, I want to change the STATUS field to B (from A). The structure of daterange table is as follows: RID (key field) DEND MONTH DATE SITE PRICE STATUS What is the easiest way to accomplish this? Here is the code from the form (if it will help)... Code: [Select] <?php //************************************** // Page load dropdown results // //************************************** function getTierOne() { $result = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT MONTH FROM daterange") or die(mysql_error()); while($tier = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) { echo '<option value="'.$tier['MONTH'].'">'.$tier['MONTH'].'</option>'; } } //************************************** // First selection results // //************************************** if($_GET['func'] == "drop_1" && isset($_GET['func'])) { drop_1($_GET['drop_var']); } function drop_1($drop_var) { include_once('db.php'); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM daterange WHERE DEND > DATE(NOW()) AND STATUS='A' AND MONTH='$drop_var' ORDER BY DATE, SITE") or die(mysql_error()); echo '<select name="RID"> <option value=" " disabled="disabled" selected="selected">Choose a Reservation</option>'; while($drop_2 = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) { echo '<option value="'.$drop_2['RID'].'">'.$drop_2 ['DATE'].
