Question

I have a SQL delete button after every record shown on my page. I have exactly what the button should do, but it’s not working! I even echo the $sql to make sure it’s correct and it displays the following:

DELETE * FROM recensies WHERE ID ='508a7a732ef67' AND email ='info@*****.nl'

When I look at the record in PHPmyAdmin I can see that there is a record with exactly this information, but on the other had that had to be, here is my code, I’m sure you’ll see what I mean.

<?php

// Up here I connect to my DB, no problems there..

$query  = "SELECT * FROM recensies ORDER BY timestamp DESC"; 
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

if (isset($_POST['verwijderen'])) 
{

    $IDdelete = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['ID']);
    $emaildelete = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email']);

    $sql = "DELETE * FROM recensies "
         . "WHERE ID ='$IDdelete' AND email ='$emaildelete'";

    mysql_query($sql);

    echo $sql;
}

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{

?>

<form method="post">
<tr>
<td><?php echo $row['cijfer']; ?></td>
<td><input type="text" name="ID" value="<?php echo $row['ID']; ?>"></input></td>
<td><?php $newb = substr($row['beoordeling'], 0, 30); echo $newb; ?>..</td>
<td><?php echo $row['voornaam']; ?> <?php echo $row['achternaam']; ?></td>
<td><input type="text" name="email" value="<?php echo $row['email']; ?>"></td>
<td><?php $datum = date("j/n/y", strtotime($row[timestamp])); echo $datum; ?></td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Verwijderen" name="verwijderen"></td>
</tr>
</form>

<?php

}

?>

</table>

</div>

</div>

I just can’t find my error!

I think you need to remove the * from the delete statement, so like this:

DELETE FROM recensies WHERE ID ='508a7a732ef67' AND email ='info@*****.nl'
