I would like to delete a row inside a mysql table. To find out which rows are affected the system has to check another table. Somehow I am doing this statement wrong and I cant find out why. Does anybody see the error? Thanx for any help on that. DELETE

RIGHT JOIN $table2 AS p ON p.ID = pi.product_id WHERE p.owner_id = '15173'

1. You're using MySQL 4, right? 2. Echo your query to the screen when you're having trouble. Ensure you really have a value for $table1, $table2, etc. 3. Try this format: DELETE $table1 FROM $table1 pi, $table2 p WHERE p.ID = pi.product_id AND p.owner_id = '15173' 4. If you're still having trouble, what does mysql_error() say after you execute the query? -- ---John Holmes...
