$dbh = new PDO("sqlite:database.sdb");
$sql ="SELECT * FROM clip";
foreach ($dbh->query($sql) as $row)

}
also this is my final code for button click;
$dbh->exec("delete clip where id='in here should be button id'");
How can i connect with this two code. Thanks already.

Answer 1

Given the level of your question I am assuming you are unfamiliar with jQuery and AJAX, but you should research both.
For a simple solution not using these you could do as follows:
Change the output to be <input type="button" id="'.$row['id'].'" value="Delete" onclick="do_delete(this.id)">;
Then you need a php script on the server side to handle the delete function, e.g. yourhandler.php
<?
//connect to DB here
if ($_POST['id']) {
$sql = "delete from clip where id=:delete_id";
$stmt = $dbh->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute([':delete_id'=>$_POST['id']]);
}
?>
Then on the client side you need a form which submits when the button is clicked. Here is an example form code:
<form action="yourhandler.php" method="post" id="myform">
<!--Your PHP script which creates buttons-->
<input type="hidden" value="" name="id" id="delete_id">
</form>
<script>
function do_delete(which) {
var x = document.getElementById('delete_id');
x.value=which;
document.getElementById('myform').submit();
}
</script>

You can use this working jquery template for your task. It binds to all inputs that has a name="del".
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('input[name="del"]').on('click', function() {
alert('button id is '+$(this).attr('id'));
var button_id = $(this).attr('id');
$.ajax({
method: 'post',
url: "delete.php",
data: {'did':button_id},
dataType: "html",
success: function(result) {
alert(result);
}
});
});
});
</script>
In your PHP delete file, you can retrieve the delete id via $_POST['did'].
