Icon edb_delete

Deletes the current row in a cursor.

Syntax
edb_delete(<CursorHandle>)

<CursorHandle> =

Handle of cursor returned by edb_execute function

Returns
TRUE if successful, and FALSE if there are any errors

Usage
The edb_delete function deletes the current row in a cursor.

Warning If the cursor state, retrievable via the edb_state function, is an insert state (EDB_INSERT_STATE) or update state (EDB_UPDATE_STATE), then this function will cause an automatic call to the edb_post function in order to force the cursor into a browse state (EDB_BROWSE_STATE).

<?php

// The following script connects to an ElevateDB
// Server and database, prepares and executes a
// direct table open, finds a row, and then deletes
// the row using the edb_delete() function

$con = edb_connect("type=remote;charset=Ansi;address=127.0.0.1;"+
                   "uid=Administrator;pwd=EDBDefault;database=Test");
if (!$con)
  {
  die("Could not connect: " . edb_errmsg());
  }

$cmd = edb_prepare($con,"customer",EDB_COMMAND_TABLE);
$cursor = edb_execute($cmd);

if (edb_find($cursor,array(1000)))
{
  if (!edb_delete($cursor))
    {
    $msg = edb_errmsg();
    die("Error deleting customer: " . $msg);
    }
}

edb_disconnect($con);
