Question

Regarding this line

  database::query("DELETE FROM bo WHERE name='{$this->_protected_arr[a1]}' AND email='$_SESSION[email]'");

How can I update it so that it only deletes one row instead of all of them.

Also, the syntax looks off, is there any way not to use the {}.

Also, normally PHP calls warnings if ther are no apostrohpes in associative array but it does not pick it up in this case. So this seems wrong as well.

So this is actually 3 questions.

Use a LIMIT 1 clause at the end of the query.

the syntax looks off

It’s correct. It’s what PHP calls the “complex (curly) syntax” for variable parsing in strings:

You can of course use string concatenation there if you prefer.
