I've spent hours on this and can't understand why this doesn't work.


//////////////////// CODE

$email = strtolower(filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'email', FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL));
$blog_id = filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'blogId', FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);
$password = md5(filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'password', FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS));

$id = authenticate($email, $password, $db1);


if ($id != false) {

if (!$stmt = $db1->prepare('DELETE FROM blogs WHERE userId=? && blogId=?')) {
echo "Binding parameters failed: (" . $stmt->errno . ") " . $stmt->error;
}


// $id, $blog_Id checked here and are correct!

if (!$stmt->bind_param("ii", $id, $blog_Id)) {
echo "Binding parameters failed: (" . $stmt->errno . ") " . $stmt->error;
}


if (!$stmt->execute()) {
echo "Execute failed: (" . $stmt->errno . ") " . $stmt->error;
}else{
echo('{"status":"deleted"}');
}

$stmt->close();

}else{
echo('[{"status":"failed"}]');
}


/// COOOOOOOOOOODE END


{"status":"deleted"} is outputted but the record is not deleted.

If I copy and paste the query into phpmyadmin and run it with the values hard coded it works.

No errors are returned.

The user has privileges to delete and everything else.

Is there anyway I can check it? or see any errors any other way?

The first thing I see wrong is that you mistyped "$blog_id" as
"$blog_Id".

Good eye, Salvatore! Can I get you to proof my next project? :)

I would also mention that enabling E_NOTICE would have shown this error
(assuming, of course, the OP doesn't also have $blog_Id defined, of course).

Mysql may or may not be case sensitive.

He says it works in phpmyadmin

IF its running under apache Id suggests looking at Apache error logs cos
that's typically where errors get reported. There are certainly classes
of errors that don't get reported by the upper layers of the software
that reveal themselves as errors at the base level. A typical one is
trying to process a single result on the implicit assumption that there
is any result at all.


My guess is the statement is executing correctly but not doing anything.

First test: log in as EXACTLY the same user and password under
phpmyadmin and see if it still works.

spent several hours poring over code before I realised that I hadn't
granted select rights on a table to the appropriate mysql user..

In this case does the user have delete rights to the table?

And would that throw and errors at the mysql level? Or simply return a
null result?

Your guess is wrong. And it has nothing to do with whether MySQL is
case-sensitive or not. $blog_Id is a PHP variable.

When you find yourself in a situation where you are pretty something
must work, but it doesn't:
1) Make sure you see all errors/warnings/notices. (Fixes 99% of the
problems for me)
2) Delete the code, and retype it! ;-)
Seriously, that helped me out a few times.

And a big HI! to all in comp.lang.php, my favorite newsgroup I have been
neglecting now for waaay too long.

I can't even count the number of times I have missed 1 letter
misspellings (usually an unexpected capital letter).

I sometimes search the variable name throughout the code to find typos. Some editors
(kate) highlight all occurences of a variable if you click on it, it helps a lot.
