Given the DB layout I sketched before, you would: 1) delete all comments delete from COMMENT where id_message in ( select id from MESSAGE where id_topic in $id_topic); 2) delete all messages delete from MESSAGE where id_topic = $id_topic; 3) delete the topic delete from TOPIC where id = $id_topic; Wrap the whole stuff in a transaction if your database supports it and you'll be fine. -- >O Ernest E.
