Is there a different syntax to the mysql delete statement when the "WHERE"
clause points only to half of the primary key?

The structure is as follows:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ` table1` (
`id1` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
`id2` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id1`,`id2`),
KEY `id2` (`id2`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

Query is
$query = "DELETE * FROM table1 WHERE id1 = '$recID';";

Error is a 1064 syntax error.

Any help is appreciated.

Eli

Integer values do not need to be quoted. You should be able to drop the
semi-colon from the query too. See if that helps

And try var_dump()ing the complete query to make sure it looks as you
would expect.

The syntax should be

"DELETE FROM table1 WHERE id1 =3D '$recID';";

No need for the *
