Solution
You can use a delete button in your form to delete rows from your MySQL database.
To do this, you will need to create a form with a delete button. The form should include a hidden field that contains the ID of the row you want to delete.
When the delete button is clicked, you can use a PHP script to execute a MySQL query to delete the row from the database.
For example, the following code will delete a row from a table called ‘users’ where the ID is equal to the value of the hidden field:
This code should be placed in a PHP file and the file should be included in the page where the form is located.
In your html view page some change echo "<td><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40479421/delete.php?did=".$row["id']."'>Delete</a></td>";
like bellow:
<?php
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $row['name'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['id'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['rollnumber'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['address'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['phonenumber'] . "</td>";
echo "<td><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40479421/delete.php?did=".$row["id']."'>Delete</a></td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
?>
PHP delete code :
<?php
if(isset($_GET['did'])) {
$delete_id = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['did']);
$sql = mysql_query("DELETE FROM venu WHERE id = '".$delete_id."'");
if($sql) {
echo "<br/><br/><span>deleted successfully...!!</span>";
} else {
echo "ERROR";
}
}
?>
Note : Please avoid mysql_*
because mysql_*
has beed removed from
PHP 7. Please use mysqli
or PDO
.
