Hi Christian, Thanks for confirming the syntax. It made me look closer on other possible issues and I realized I wasn't calling the right PHP file in my httprequest. It has been years without doing PHP, I've lost some reflex.

Dear Yoann Maingon, your code snippet looks fine to me. I would assume that a third command won't return any results, as they should have been deleted from your database: print $session->execute(“XQUERY //definition/item[@type=’test’]”); If that's not the case, or if I didn't answer your question, feel free to give us more details on your problem.

Hi,

I’ve started using BaseX as a database for a PHP project. I can open the

database and add nodes but I can’t delete nodes.

I’ve tested the XQUERY on the GUI and it works just fine. Any clue?

Here is the xquery:

Here is the php code: […] $session->execute(“OPEN data”); $session->execute(“XQUERY delete nodes (//definition/item[@type=’test’])”);

I’ve tried without “XQUERY” but gives the same result.

Would be nice to have a working example of such use.

Best Regards, Yoann Maingon
