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.
