Right now I redirect to index page after I delete a record. However I am looking to make it so that I can delete a record without redirecting the page. I know this can be accomplised using Ajax. I have spent countless hours before trying to make it work, but it did not work.

So here is a basic setup I created. Can you please update it with ajax code so that I can see how it's done properly?

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en"> 
	<head>
		<meta charset="UTF-8">
		<title>Home Page</title>
	</head>
	<body>
	
	<div class="record" >
		<a href="record.php?id=<?php echo $record_id ?>"><?php echo $record_name; ?></a>
		<div class="delete-record">
			<a href="delete.php">Delete Record</a>
		</div>
	</div>	
	
	</body>
</html>

Sure. Here is the updated code.

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en"> 
	<head>
		<meta charset="UTF-8">
		<title>Home Page</title>
		
		<script src="jquery.js"></script>
		   <script type="text/javascript">
			$(function() {
			$(".delete").click(function(){
			var element = $(this);
			var del_id = element.attr("id");
			var info = 'id=' + del_id;
			if(confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this?"))
			{
			 $.ajax({
			   type: "POST",
			   url: "delete.php?id=<?php echo $id?>&user=<?php echo $user; ?>",
			   data: info,
			   success: function(){
			 }
			});
			  $(this).parents(".show").animate({ backgroundColor: "#003" }, "slow")
			  .animate({ opacity: "hide" }, "slow");
			 }
			return false;
			});
			});
		</script>
	</head>
	<body>
	
	<div class="record" >
		<a href="record.php?id=<?php echo $record_id ?>"><?php echo $record_name; ?></a>
		<div class="delete-record">
			<a href="#" id="<?php echo $id; ?>" class="delete" >Delete Record</a>
		</div>
	</div>	
	
	</body>
</html>

Well the problem is that I can't get the record to delete using ajax. Above is the setup I have. I need someone to look at it and tell what's wrong with it.

Here is the delete.php code. This query works.

$user_id	= intval(Input::get('user'));
$record_id	= intval(Input::get('id'));
				
$sql = 'DELETE FROM records WHERE id = ? AND user = ?';

$stmt = DB::getInstance()->query($sql, array($record_id, $user_id));

You are sending the ajax data as POST, but trying to get them via GET in php.

I didn't do the onclick warning, but I figure you can figure that out. That's just making the page spiffy anyways. This is how I would do it, though it could be modified to fit your needs, specially if you're pulling in the $user variable from someplace else.

<?php 
$id=64; // Temporay id variable:
$user = 'Clint Eastwood'; // Temporary user name variable:
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en"> 
<head>
	<meta charset="UTF-8">
	<title>Home Page</title>
</head>
<body>
	
	<div class="record" >
		<div class="delete-record">
			<a class="delete" data-user="<?php echo $user; ?>" data-id="<?php echo $id; ?>" href="delete.php">Delete Record</a> 
		</div>
    <span id="result"></span>
	</div>	
	<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
	<script>
		$(function() {
			var $delBtn = $('a.delete'),
			    $myURL  = $('a.delete').attr('href'),
			    $user   = $('a.delete').data('user'),
			    $id     = $('a.delete').data('id');
			
			console.log($myURL, $user, $id);
			$delBtn.on('click', function(event) {
				event.preventDefault();
				var params = { id: $id, user: $user }; // Set parameters
				var myData = jQuery.param( params ); // Set parameters to corret AJAX format				
				$.ajax({
					type:"post",
					url:$myURL, // Set the URL to from the href attribute in the anchor tag:
					data: myData,
					success:function(info){
						$('#result').html(info); // Display the result back when deleted: 
					}
				});	// End of Ajax function:							
			}); // End of Delete Button

		});	// End of Doc Ready Function:
	</script>
</body>
</html>

Below is the delete.php file that I tested it out with:

<?php
echo $result = $_POST['id'] . ' ' . $_POST['user'];

man5,

Do you utilize firebug or the chrome developer tools? They are highly useful for debugging ajax code especially in terms of determining whether or not the calls are actually executing.
