Okay this is wierd,

here is some test code to get a variable called delete from the address bar

	echo $_GET['delete'];
	if($_GET['delete'])
	{
		echo'hello';
		$sql = "DELETE FROM `users` WHERE `user_id` = '".$_GET['delete']."' LIMIT 1";
		echo $sql;
		//$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
		
	}

the address looks like this

users.php?delete=26

Whats wrong im not sure, it just doesnt echo.

Thank you for your help.

I'm not sure - have you tried shoving it into a variable first - I read somewhere that anything later than php 4.x you have to grab the data first - before you can mess with it for some reason.

Also, you may not want to name your variable or GET item 'delete,' seeing as how that may be a specified php command and thus wouldn't work.

Here's one of my working examples:

$pageId = $_GET['pageId'];

I changed it to del instead of delete, and still nothing, weird thing is though is that the echo 'hello' inside the if doesn't echo either. If it matters that ?delete=blah is set by javascript, I use it to go to users.php and set a specific number for delete based on what php passes into the function.

Well i just copied and pasted your code example (minus the sql) and it worked fine for me....

[musya]

wierd, I dont get it.

would look close at what is loading before this.

see if it is getting unset somehow.

[musya]

does it echo the sql too? i reckon 1 of 2 things, if it does then try adding a space between the echo and the ' thats affected things for me before, and if it echoes neither then its because $_GET['delete'] isn't there. try using

if(isset($_GET['delete'])){// or use if(!empty($_GET['delete'])){ // try both 
  echo "Get delete exists!";
}else{
  echo "Get delete DOESN'T exist";
}

then we can determine the error and a way to solve it

another thing. if that still doesn't work try using $_REQUEST['delete'] instead of $_GET both SHOULD work but just check it.

as greg mentioned try adding it into a variable first that works for me most the time

good luck

i usually do a validation, same time..

if(is_numeric($_GET['delete'])){

[musya]

I'm a F*$#ing idiot, i put that code inside an if statment that doesnt run at that specific time. what a f$(%ing waste of time, sorry guys thank you for all of your help though.

EDIT:
I hope you dont all hate me yet
