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",$bb) or die(mysql_error()); PHP server doesn't see the variable because it is inside the string quotes"". If I do this: mysql_query("DELETE FROM product WHERE manufacturer="$hidden_manuf_id,$bb) or die(mysql_error()); PHP server reports a parsing error. What is the correct syntax? ($bb is correctly defined.)
