Re: [PHP] Inserting a variable into a mysql_query() statement
You very likely need to use $_REQUEST[hidden_manuf_id] in your first example, which is almost correct otherwise( for security reasons, also put single quotes around it) Phil Clark wrote: I'm trying to insert the variable $hidden_manuf_id into a mysql_query() statement.

If i do this: mysql_query(DELETE FROM product WHERE manufacturer=$hidden_manuf_id,$bb) or die(mysql_error()); That should work iff manufacturer is a number. Otherwise you need single-quotes: DELETE FROM product WHERE manufacturer='$hidden_manuf_id' PHP server doesn't see the variable because it is inside the string quotes. Actually you DO need the double-quotes in order for PHP interpret $hidden_manuf_id as a variable. What you really should do is split the above into two steps: $query = DELETE FROM product WHERE manufacturer=$hidden_manuf_id; mysql_query($query, $bb) or die(Error in $query :: . mysql_error()); -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design Hosting * Internet Intranet Applications Development * /* Check me if I'm wrong, Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers... they're gonna lock me up and throw away the key! */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
