PHP Delete Button - php

Question

I recently started learning PHP on my own and started to use MySQL and Apache as well. I made a basic table in MySQL, and using some PHP code, I displayed the table in a HTML table in a browser. Now I'd like to add a delete button beside each row, and when clicked, it would delete that row. I am very new to this, and I'm just practicing. Could anyone please help me? This is the code I have so far:
From: phpcode on Pastebin
<?php
ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '');
mysql_select_db('testdb');
$result = mysql_query('select * from products');
$numrows = mysql_numrows($result);
//****************************************************************
print "<table border = 3 style = width:400px>";
for($i = 0; $i < $numrows; $i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
print "<tr>";
foreach($row as $cell)
{
print "<td>";
print $cell;
print "</td>";
}
print "</tr>";
}
print "</table>";
mysql_close();
?>
I also have a delete.php page, but I really don't know where to start. I've looked for online tutorials, and many say different ways.

Answer 1

Just add another "" inside the loop with delete text and pass the id for that
for($i = 0; $i < $numrows; $i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
print "<tr>";
foreach($row as $cell)
{
print "<td>";
print $cell;
print "</td>";
print "<td>";
print "DELETE";
print "</td>";
}
print "</tr>";
}

Let say your table like below;
$result = mysql_query('select * from products');
print "<table>";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
print "<tr><td>" . $row["name"] . "</td><td>" . $row["surname"] . "</td><td>Delete</td></tr>";
}
print "</table>";
Here, while iterating your row, you need to put $row["id"] in delete link id.
And in your delete.php
$id = $_GET["id"];
// Delete sql here. Do not forget to validate id here.
header("Location: index.php"); // I assume, table page is this

Answer 3

In your table products you need a field with different value for each register, name it id or whatever you want.
If you have table but doesn't have that field, good option would be and auto_increment field.
Code for add an auto_increment field:
ALTER TABLE `products` ADD COLUMN `id` INT AUTO_INCREMENT UNIQUE FIRST;
Then id would be unique for each register and you don't need to worried about it because you don't need to insert it, it is generated automatically.
print "<table border = 3 style = width:400px>";
for($i = 0; $i < $numrows; $i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
print "<tr>";
foreach($row as $cell)
{
print "<td>";
print $cell;
print "</td>";
}
print "<td><a href='delete.php?id=".$row["id"] ."' > delete </a> " ;
print "</tr>";
}
$row["id"] is the id of register you want to delete.
in delete.php
$id = $_GET["id"];
$delete = " DELETE from yourTable where id = ". $id ;
mysq_query ( $delete ) ;
PD: Use mysqli_
