DELETE query not working

Anyone have any ideas why the DELETE query at the bottom of this script is not working?  I just want to delete one row in the database that corresponds to the $id variable.  Thanks!

[code]<?php
require ('../mysqlconnect.php');
$id = $_GET['id'];
function form() {
global $id;
$q = "SELECT * FROM gigs WHERE id=$id";
$result = @mysql_query ($q);
if ($result) {
while ($part = mysql_fetch_array
($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
print '<h1>Do you want to delete the gig: ' . $part['location'] . '?</h1>';
print '<form method="post" action="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '">';
print '<input type="radio" name="delete" value="yes"/>Yes';
print '<input type="hidden" name="check" value="1">';
print '<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">';
}
}else {
print "could not retrieve data";
}
}
if ($_POST['check']) {
process();
}
else {
form();
}

function process() {
global $id;
if ($_POST['delete']) {
$id = $_GET['id'];
$q = "DELETE FROM gigs WHERE id=$id";
$result = @mysql_query($q);
if ($result) {
print 'Deleted!<br><a href="addgig.php">Return</a>';
} else {
print 'Could not connect to the database.';
$e = mysql_error();
print "$e";
}
}else { print 'Not Deleted';}
}
?>[/code]

The error returned this:  You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

The version on the server is 3.23.49, and I checked the manual but could not find any answers.  I'm sure it's something simple I am overlooking.  Thanks for the help!

Ok, figured it out.  I was sending the form, so the $id variable lost it's value.  I created a hidden form input that spit out the id value and then posted it into the function I was having problems with.  Worked like a charm.  Thanks for the help.
