Im trying to delete a record from my sql table based on the record id. Heres what I have I cant see whats wrong with it.
Throws me up this error:

Code:
$query = "DELETE * FROM news WHERE news_id = $newsid";
Throws me up this error:
Error in query: DELETE * FROM news WHERE news_id =13. You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '* FROM news WHERE news_id =13' at line 1
