Can i delete a record using the following function? If yes how can i do this? I have to pass the function to the submit button?
function deleteImage($id = "")
{
if(isset($_POST['delete_image']))
{
$query = mysql_query("DELETE FROM store WHERE id='$id'");
}
return $query;
}
the html looks like this:
<?php
$images = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM store");
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($images)) {
?>
<form action="admin.php" method="post">
<?php
echo "<img src=".$row['image'].">";
?>
<input type="submit" name="delete_image" value="DELETE IMAGE">
</form>
<?php
}
?>
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You can do something like this , add hidden input in form inside while loop.
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="<?php echo $row['id']; ?>"
Then in action.php file
$id = $_POST['id'];
if(isset($_POST['delete_image']))
{
$query = mysql_query("DELETE FROM store WHERE id='$id'");
}

Answer 2

You should try this.
<?php
if(isset($_POST['delete_image']))
{
$query = mysqli_query("DELETE FROM store WHERE id='".$_POST['image_id']."'")or die(mysqli_error());
}
$images = mysqli_query("SELECT * FROM store");
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($images))
{
?>
<form action="admin.php" method="post">
<?php echo "<img src=".$row['image'].">"; ?>
<input type="hidden" id="image_id_<?php echo $row['id']; ?>" value="<?php echo $row['id']; ?>" name="image_id"/>
<input type="submit" name="delete_image" value="DELETE IMAGE">
</form>
<?php
}
?>
I passed image id in hidden field.

This your view
<td>
<?php $images = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM store"); ?>
<form action="index.php" method="post">
<?php while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($images)): ?>
<img src="<?php echo $row['image']; ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="deleting[]" value="<?php echo $row['id_from_database'] ?>">
<?php endwhile; ?>
<input type="submit" name="delete_image" value="DELETE IMAGE">
</form>
</td>
This your code
<?php
function deleteImage()
{
if(isset($_POST['delete_image'], $_POST['deleting']) && !empty($_POST['deleting']))
{
$ids = array_map('intval', $_POST['deleting']); // Type conversion to integer
$ids = implode(', ', $ids); // Bringing to id1,id2...
$query = mysql_query('DELETE FROM images WHERE id IN(' . $ids . ')'); // Deleting
return (bool)$query;
}
}
?>
Now you need set checkbox which images you want to delete and press submit.
