[SOLVED] SQL statement works in phpMyAdmin, but not PHP

[jtrost]

Hello, I am having a strange problem with deleting records from my database with PHP.  The SQL statement works in phpMyAdmin, but the same statement produces an error when ran through PHP.  Here is the PHP code:

 

$result = mysql_query("DELETE FROM `emails` WHERE `id` = ".$GET['id']);

 

It produces something like: DELETE FROM `emails` WHERE `id` = 1.  However, I receive this mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

 

The funny thing is when I copy and pasted the SQL statement into phpMyAdmin it removed the row just fine.  What am I doing wrong in PHP?

 

Thanks!

Try this: 

"DELETE FROM emails WHERE id = '$GET[id]'"

should work in you php code.

change

$result = mysql_query("DELETE FROM `emails` WHERE `id` = ".$GET['id']);

to

$result = mysql_query("DELETE FROM `emails` WHERE `id` = ".$GET['id'].")";
