Looks like line 73 of your /xxx/database.inc PHP script is submitting a query formated with a zero length string instead of a number. Look for the variable being formated into the query string being undefined thereby leading to the somethat that looks like: delete from aaa where id = instead of a more normal: delete from aaa where id = 44 You wouldn't believe the number of times I've explained that error message to a PHP developer. -- Nigel J.

Newer versions do not allow a '' to be inserted into a integer base value. Thus if you have a query that may return '' as an integer base value, you should run it through a condition to make the '' == NULL which is valid. Sincerely, Joshua Drake
