delete message function

I created the below delete function, but it doesn't seem to be working correctly. When I enter the correct password it get my echo "Incorrect Password Did not Delete!" When I leave the password blank the message will delete from mysql table. Am I missing something?? Thanks in advance, Chris function delete_message(&$msg) { extract($msg, EXTR_PREFIX_ALL, 'row'); $result = mysql_query("SELECT ID FROM mbmsgs WHERE Parent = $row_ID;"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { delete_message($row); } mysql_query("DELETE FROM mbmsgs WHERE ID = $row_ID;"); } $result = mysql_query("SELECT Title, Password FROM mbmsgs WHERE ID = {$_REQUEST['Msg']};"); if (!$result) exit; if (!mysql_num_rows($result)) exit; extract(mysql_fetch_array($result), EXTR_PREFIX_ALL, 'msg'); if (isset($_POST['Password'])) { if (sha1($_POST['Password']) != $msg_Password) { echo "Incorrect password did not delete!"; exit;
