Formatting mysqli output table with different functionalities - php

Question

I am outputting newsletter email registrations.
How can I format them into tables and what edits can I do so that I can drop that row also.
My PHP code is :
<?php include "navbar-datacheck.php" ?>
<?php
include "../backend/db.php";
$sql = "SELECT * from newsletter";
$result = $mysqli->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
// output data of each row
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
print "id: " . $row["id"]. " - Email ID: " . $row["email"]."<br>";
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
$mysqli->close();
?>

Answer 1

Construct your table comprising of all the newsletter details in the following manner,
// your code
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
// output data of each row
?>
<table>
<tr>
<td>ID</td>
<td>Email</td>
<td>Action</td>
</tr>
<?php
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $row["id"]; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row["email"]; ?></td>
<td>Delete</td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>
</table>
<?php
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
// your code
... what edits can I do so that I can drop that row also.
As you can see, I have added a third column Action in your table so that you could delete a row of your choice at any given time. So once the user clicks on Delete link, this is how you should process and delete the corresponding record in delete.php file.
if(isset($_GET['id']) && !empty($_GET['id'])){
$id = $_GET['id'];
// Now delete the corresponding record from the table
}
