Hello

I'm trying to allow the user to delete a record from a web app. I copied a tutorial on deleting data but struggling to work it out. My php code is

<?php
      include "connection.php";//database connection
       $order = "SELECT * FROM "members" WHERE Username= '".mysql_real_escape_string($_SESSION['Username'])."' ORDER BY DATE DESC ";;
      $result = mysql_query($order);
      
      while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
       
           echo ("<tr><td>$row[Name]</td>");
           echo ("<td>$row[SecondName]</td>");
           echo ("<td><a href=\"deletebookmark.php?id=$row[ID]]\">Delete</a></td></tr>");


        
      }
      ?>

The ID in the final row is the id of the record (members) (this could be the issue)

 deletebookmark.php code

<?php



include "connection.php"; 

 
$order = "DELETE FROM "members" 

        WHERE "" ='$ID'"; 

mysql_query($order); 

header("location:member.php"); 

?>

You need to specify the column name to test against in the WHERE clause. The table name and column name should NOT be quoted.

 

DELETE FROM members WHERE ID=$ID
You need to define what $ID is. Based on the code, you want $_GET['id']. You will need to sanitize it to prevent sql injections, using intval will work assuming the id is a number.
