Thanks Daniel i ´ve removed the unexpected else secction. Now it works but it tells me that there might be a syntax error on the query, this is good news because now i know i´m having connection with the database but also there must be something wrong with the query. $del_str = "DELETE FROM libros WHERE bnumero=".$_GET['Id']; Is this correct, i´ve checked and the correct syntax to use would be delete from libros where bnumero='something'; Given 'something' is taken from a variable called Id it seems reasonable to me the way it is written. Do you see anything wrong? Thanks again.
