Re: how to delete records older than 14 days
DELETE FROM news WHERE newsdate=DATE_ADD(CURRENT_DATE, INTERVAL -14 DAY) Above is the code that I would use to do that job. Hope this helps. -Angela Thomas Katsampes wrote: Hello, I'm trying to figure out the correct syntax for requesting the database to remove all records older than 14 days.

Re: how to delete records older than 14 days
Sir, your DELETE statement runs fine on my computer. The problem appears to be in your PHP code. Post the problem to a PHP group with all the relevant lines, not just the two shown below.

Why are you defining $sql2, and using $sql in the mysql_db_query()?
