scarface83 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Hi, how would i do the following ? $query = mysql_query("DELETE notes, datestamp, abs_value, ID FROM absence_mgt WHERE datestamp='$date' AND ID='$vtc_login' ") or die(mysql_error()); im just getting "Unknown table 'notes' in MULTI DELETE" ? thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/44612-solved-mysql-delete-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshi_v Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Hi, I think your delete query is wrong. It should be like this... $query = mysql_query("DELETE FROM absence_mgt WHERE datestamp='$date' AND ID='$vtc_login' ") or die(mysql_error()); Regards, Joshi.

DeathStar Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Truncate it! $query = mysql_query("TRUNCATE TABLE absence_mgt WHERE datestamp='$date' AND ID='$vtc_login' ") or die(mysql_error()); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/44612-solved-mysql-delete-help/#findComment-216647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarface83 Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 sorry to go one but just confirm this would only delete all the data in that row on the table , as i have a lot of duplicated info and i dont want it to delete all of them ? thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/44612-solved-mysql-delete-help/#findComment-216649 Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarface83 Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 i just need it to delete one row not the whole table Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/44612-solved-mysql-delete-help/#findComment-216652 Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshi_v Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Hmm! Then use delete query . $query = mysql_query("DELETE FROM absence_mgt WHERE datestamp='$date' AND ID='$vtc_login' ") or die(mysql_error()); It will remove only a single row where id is matching to the value u passed in query where condition. WHERE datestamp='$date' AND ID='$vtc_login' So need to worry. it will remove onyl one row. Regards, Joshi.
