Delete3()

[RON_ron]

I'm trying to delete a complete row from 3 databases. But it's not functioning. I can't see an error. Could someone help?

 

$sperson = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['sperson']);


$sqlA="DELETE FROM showrooms WHERE salesperson = '".$sperson."'";
$result1=mysql_query($sqlA);

$sqlB="DELETE FROM supplier WHERE salesperson = '".$sperson."'";
$result2=mysql_query($sqlB);

$sqlC="DELETE FROM data WHERE salesperson = '".$sperson."'";
$result3=mysql_query($sqlC);



if($result1 && $result2 && $result3){
$login = "Success";
echo($login);
} else {
$login = "failed";
echo($login);
};

You're not handling the MySQL errors, so it's quite impossible to say why it fails. I recommend reading this post by Jessica, as it'll explain in detail what you should do.

Define: But it's not functioning?

 

What result are you getting? What output or symptom occurred in front of you that leads you to believe it's not functioning?

 

If you are getting a 'Success' message, but the rows are not being deleted, the only thing your conditional code at the end is doing is testing if the queries ran without any errors. That doesn't mean they actually deleted anything, which would occur if the WHERE clause is FALSE (i.e. the $sperson variable is empty or doesn't match any entry in the table(s).) You would need to both test if the queries executed without any error and use mysql_affected_rows to determine if any row(s) were actually deleted before outputting a 'Success' message.

This is the error message when I did a

echo mysql_error();

 

command denied to user 'abcb_showrooms'@'localhost' for table 'data'

[mrMarcus]

The user 'abcb_showrooms' does not have permission to use DELETE.

 

You need to grant that user the proper permissions.
