Delete Function Error

[mike_p]

I realised that without the ! it would not show any entries. So I sent the parameter cmd=xxx. That allowed me to see things but wasn't going to attempt an edit or delete.

I then simply clicked on delete and that worked fine. Having deleted a couple of items, I found a way to create my own item and added it. (Just so the page wouldn't be blank for anyone else!)

Hmm, I took the ! back out and did what you did and it worked fine, but the news articles do not show up on the edit_news.php. It seems that there is something preventing it from showing the news there when there is no !, but allowing the delete function to work. Then when the ! is added back in, it displays the articles on edit_news.php, but the delete function does not work. Anyone see something in the code that may be causing this?

Well, then there's an error in the logic. You should find another way to check to see what it should do.

I think you problem is the oreder in which you do things.

You should first of all handle commands like edit or delete.

Then you should should show existing entries - and don't test isset($cmd) because you want to show existing entries whether or not you're sending a command.

Thanks for the idea, I'll try it and let you know how it works out

Yeah. if ($cmd == THIS) do THAT; ...etc

Man, I am strugling with the exact same thing, driving me nuts.
Could you please post your working version of the delete and edit so i can learn from it.

Thanks!
