Question

Should this delete all records in my SQL table?

<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","bikemap","pedalhard");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db("test", $con);

mysql_query("DELETE * FROM gpsdata");

mysql_close($con);
?>

Answer 1

The DELETE syntax doesn’t allow a star between DELETE and FROM. Try this instead:

mysql_query("DELETE FROM gpsdata");
