Problems trying to use DELETE

Hi,

I'm trying to create a forum (which I've done but iot doesn't look very pretty!). So far you are able to post a message and read the posts but I am having trouble deleting posts.

So far I have two files, one called delete.php

PHP Code:
<?php 
  
// This is the DSN we have create for our database 
  
$connect odbc_connect("forum""root"""); 
?> 

<html> 
<body> 
Discussion Forum using PHP/Access under IIS<br /><br /> 
<?php 
    
     shownode
(0); // display all the main threads 

   // This function is a recursive function which shall display all the br /anches 
   // and sub br /anches of the threads 
   
function shownode($nodecode
   { 
          global 
$connect;   // using the global variable for connection 
        // Get a list of all the sub nodes which specific parentcode 
        
$noderesult odbc_exec($connect,"select * from forum where parentcode = $nodecode"); 
        echo  
'<ul type="disc">'
        while(
odbc_fetch_row($noderesult)) // get all the rows 
        

           
$code  odbc_result($noderesult,"code"); 
           
$title  odbc_result($noderesult,"title"); 
           
$uname  odbc_result($noderesult,"uname"); 
           
$email  odbc_result($noderesult,"email"); 
           echo  
"<li>"
           echo 
"<a href=\"delete_post.php?node=$code\"> $title </a>"
           echo 
"-- by ($uname) $email<br />"
           
shownode($code); 
        } 
        echo  
"</ul>"
    } 
?> 
</body> 
</html>


which lists all the messages so you can pick one to delete. Then when you click on the one you want to delete you go to delete_post.php

PHP Code:
<?php
$code
=$_GET['node'];
$connect odbc_connect("forum""root""");
//print_r($_GET['node']);
// insert the record in the database 
$resultupdate odbc_exec($connect,"delete from forum where node= '".$code."'");
header("location:forum.php"); // open forum.php file to display the thread 
exit; 
?>


When I uncomment the print_r it displays the correct node to be deleted but when I try to delete it I get this error

Warning: SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Too few parameters. Expected 1., SQL state 07001 in SQLExecDirect in c:\phpdev\www\mywork\forum\delete_post.php on line 6

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at c:\phpdev\www\mywork\forum\delete_post.php:6) in c:\phpdev\www\mywork\forum\delete_post.php on line 7


I think I understand the problem with the header but I don't know why the syntax is wrong.

If I just tell it to delete all the entries that works fines but obviously I don't want to do that!

Any help would be greatly appreciated I've been Goggling for hours and nothing seems to work always the same or similar SQL Error

Thanks,
Tom

I tried your suggestion swampBoogie but now I get a new warning message:

Quote:
Warning: SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Data type mismatch in criteria expression., SQL state 22005 in SQLExecDirect in c:\phpdev\www\mywork\forum\delete_post.php on line 7


Anymore ideas?

Thanks for your help,
Tom

What datatype is the column code defined as?
The error says that the column code is not comparable to a character value.

If it is numeric the query should look like

Code:
$resultupdate = odbc_exec($connect,"delete from forum where  code= " . $code );
