I got the same mySQL error, it comes up when you click on News Archive in index2.php

If you are just wanting to remove it from a table that is displayed on the screen you would need to use some Javascript to modify the DOM.  What is below is the basic structure of what you need.  You will need to modify it to work with your page layout. element.removeChild(referenceToChildNode)

I'm not sure I completely understand what you are trying to do here... Is the function clear_record() a PHP function?  If that is the case you can not execute that function from an onClick event.  The onClick event is a Javascript event, so you will need to use a Javascript function to trigger a remote PHP function.  This can be done in a number of ways.  You would use some sort of AJAX script, Javascript redirect (window.location=remote_url), or since you are using an input button you could simply submit the form to a remote PHP script.
