'delete' syntax

[warm-fusion]

Hi, I'm just wondering what the right syntax for using the delete 
statement is? I'm trying to write a simple garbage collection/deletion 
query similar to the queries below.

delete from 'item' where 'quantity_of_item_in_stock' <= 10;

(the above version of the query pops up a Java-applet alert asking if I 
really want to xyz, then it gives an error in MyPHPAdmin)

delete * from 'item' where 'quantity_of_item_in_stock' <= 10;

(this one just gives an error in MyPHPAdmin)

Thanks again!
