is this an id problem?

[Ralphy]

Is this an id problem or is there something I am missing? I am trying to get it to delete a comment...On this 'delete.php' page, $prof is the user sending the delete request, on the page that I'm trying to delete from, $auth is the sender of the comment.

 

$prof = new User($_GET['id']);

 

$query = "UPDATE ProfileComments SET status = 'dead' WHERE id = '".$prof->id."' LIMIT 1"; $request = mysql_query($query,$connection); ?>

 

should I replace a different variable in the query instead of '$prof->id' ?

 

I am not getting any errors, and its not deleting the comment from my page or marking it in the db as dead

 

thanks
