		$result = mysql_query($sql);
		if(!$result){
		echo 'SELECT failed: '.mysql_error();
		}else{
		while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
		if (mysql_num_rows($result)) {
		$id = $row['id'];
		if(!unlink($row['image'])){
		echo "unlink ".$row['image']." failed";

where are you getting the id from I don't see it in the form?

[jcbones]

method="post"

...

$id = $_GET['del'];

 

There lies your problem.

[$php_mysql$]

method="post"

...

$id = $_GET['del'];

 

There lies your problem.

 

still no value is being sent to act=delete i tried that too before

I noticed that also, but just assumed he was passing the variable from another page.

[$php_mysql$]

something is still not right tho i made method to GET but nothing is happening in act=delete the values are not being executed there

[jcbones]

Put this code at the top of the page, and copy/paste the results:

echo '<pre>' . print_r($_GET,true) . print_r($_POST,true) . '</pre>';

[$php_mysql$]

i got that but why is it not executing my sql query? no matter what ever numeric value i input i get it printed by using print_r(); func but when i use $id = $_POST['id']; nothing prints

 

<?php
include 'db.php';

print_r($_POST['id']);

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

            $id = $_POST['id']; // The $id is not effecting the sql query WHERE id='".$id."'

    	    $sql="SELECT `id`, `image` FROM `tbl` WHERE id='".$id."'";
		$result = mysql_query($sql);
		if(!$result){

		}else{
		while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
		if (mysql_num_rows($result)) {
		$id = $row['id'];
		if(!unlink($row['image'])){

			}
		}
		$sql="DELETE FROM tbl WHERE id = '".$id."'";
		$result= mysql_query($sql);
		if(!$result){

		}
		}
		}
}
?>

<form action="delete.php" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="id">
<input type="submit" value="Delete">
</form>

This is marked as solved?  Not sure that it is.

 

Have you echo'd the $sql variable to see if it contains the data you want?

echo $sql;

Have you made sure there is not a problem on the database's end, by catching any database errors?

$result = mysql_query($sql) or exit($sql . ' has an error <br />' . mysql_error());

 

Are you getting any notices about undefined indexes? if so, paste them.

if not,

Do you have error reporting on, and display errors?

//runtime setting
error_reporting(-1);
ini_set('display_errors',1);
