Can't remove row from db

Hello, I have this code

		$mysqli = new mysqli($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbname);
		$email = $_POST['emailRemove'];
		$res = $mysqli->query("DELETE FROM users WHERE email = $email");
		if ($mysqli->affected_rows) { 
			echo "removed!";
		}

but the record is always there. Anybody can hint where I’m wrong?

It’s a code I’m putting right within an article…

Thanks!

Your table name is wrong for a start (it should be txp_users). Also you’re not sanitizing the input, which is dangerous. And since a connection to the database already exists, you can use the core functions to your advantage:

$email = doSlash(ps('emailRemove'));
$res = safe_delete('txp_users', "email='$email'");
if ($res) {
   echo "removed!";
}

Try that and see how you get on.
