php delete sql query not working - php

Question

<?php
include('session.php');
?>
<?php
$conn = new mysqli("127.0.0.1","root","","foo");
if ($conn->connect_errno) {
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: (" . $conn->connect_errno . ") " . $conn->connect_error;
}
$sew = $_SESSION['login_user'];
$a = $_GET["en"];
$l = 1;
$d = -1;
if($a == 1)
{
$sqlw = " INSERT into dlkeuser VALUES('$a','$sew')" ;
if ($conn->query($sqlw) === FALSE)
{
echo "you have already disliked the song";
}
else
{
//query1
$sql = " DELETE FROM lkeuser WHERE userid = '$sew' AND songid = '$a' ";
//query2
$sql = "UPDATE liking
SET count = count - 1 ";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
echo "you disliked the song";
}
else {
echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;
}
}
In this php code snippet, query1 is not working whereas query 2 is fine.
I am trying to insert (songid, userid) in dlkeuser(dislike) table against user i/p($_GET["en"]) and delete the record(songid,userid) from lkeuser(like) table if it exists. (songid,userid) pair is the composite primary key here. count is the net like/dislike of a song.

Answer 1

let's try this,
it will work
<?php
include('session.php');
?>
<?php
$conn = new mysqli("127.0.0.1","root","","foo");
if ($conn->connect_errno) {
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: (" . $conn->connect_errno . ") " . $conn->connect_error;
}
$sew = $_SESSION['login_user'];
$a = $_GET["en"];
$l = 1;
$d = -1;
if($a == 1)
{
$sqlw = " INSERT into dlkeuser VALUES('$a','$sew')";
if ($conn->query($sqlw) === FALSE)
{
echo "you have already disliked the song";
}
else
{
//query1
$sql = " DELETE FROM lkeuser WHERE userid = '$sew' AND songid = '$a' " ;
//query2
$sql1 = "UPDATE liking
SET count = count - 1 ";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
echo "deleted the song";
}
if ($conn->query($sql1) === TRUE) {
echo "you disliked the song";
}
else {
echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;
}
}

Answer 2

You need to execute query1, before reuse your $sql variable.
//query1
$sql = " DELETE FROM lkeuser WHERE userid = '$sew' AND songid = '$a' " ;
$conn->query($sql);
//query2
$sql = "UPDATE liking
SET count = count - 1 ";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {

Answer 3

You are not executing your query1 anywhere. Just the following code won't execute your query
$sql = " DELETE FROM lkeuser WHERE userid = '$sew' AND songid = '$a' " ;
You need another line like the following (as you did for query2)
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
echo "you liked the song";
}
else {
echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;
}
This executes the query and also checks for errors.
