Removing PHP files from MySQL

[jrapin]

Hello.

I'm trying to remove a corrupt file from our MySQL data base using the myadmin (rather than the command line client).

Question is; "How do I remove the file when I find it?" I have the "drop option" at the top tab along with:
export, structure, browse, SQL, search, insert, export, operations and empty.

Please help.

What do you mean a corrupt file? Do you mean a corrupt database entry? as in a line item in a table is corrupt?

Drop is a way of getting rid of a table, Empty allows you to delete the contents while keeping the structure.

Correct, the file contains html code and keeps pritning the last line of text twice and displays a small graphic at distorted proportions.

I prefer drop.

Find the row that is corrupt and click the little red cross on tht line and it is gone.

You may want to take more safety measueres to deal with html entered into forms.

when dealing with your form, use the htmlspecialchars() function.

You only want to delete one row, not the whole table. You're using PHP MyAdmin? Find the row and click the X like micmania said.
