deleteing linked rows from multiple tables

[missyevil]

Hi!

Basically I want to delete entries from 3 tables - table1, table2 and linktable.

I have something along the lines of:

[code]DELETE FROM table1, table2, linktable
WHERE linktable.id1=table1.id AND linktable.id2=table2.id[/code]

BUT, I'm getting syntax errors returned.

I'm very new to MySQL and PHP, so sorry if this is a really stupid question! Any help much appreciated.

There are a number of ways to handle multi-table deletes -- you want want to look at the other syntax in the refman; also consider using JOINs.
