Hi, I'm new to mysql database design, I have a PHP script to DELETE records but before that I need to be sure that the record exists.
My script goes like this: line 6 $var1 = " select * from table.field where id_record = '$record' "; line 7 if( $var2 = mysql_fetch_array($var1) ) line 8 { line 9 deleting ... line 10 } line 11 else line 12 { line 13 record does not exit ... line 14 "It is not a valid record" line 15 } So when I test it with a record I know it doesn't exist, the script gives me the message ("It is not a valid record") and this : Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in c:\apache\htdocs\nuevo\icum\eliminar.php on line 7 Any help will be appreciated Alfredo Palafox --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
