to delete a message on the posted board....

[eduardo_consolacion]

i've created a posted board like this in a certain page called "board.php":

 

ID TO                            FROM                SUBJECT                    DESCRIPTION                          CHOICES    TO    MAKE

1 hasinc@contactus.com  mail@mail.com    product sold is broken  the chair that i got is broken....  ADD          EDIT    DELETE

2 hasinc@contactus.com  for_mail@mail.com    about the item      computer screen is damage....    ADD          EDIT    DELETE

3

4

 

The ADD, EDIT, DELETE is a clickable using an <a href ="add.php ">, <a href ="edit.php ">.

Now my question are as follow:

1)  how would you delete the entire row if you click the DELETE in row number 1?

2) would you use <a href ="delete.php "> to delete it or other code to use it?

3)  I want also to redirect the page to itself when the process is done, how would you do that? 

4) I want to make sure that both in the PHP DATABASE will be DELETED as the board.php will be change into something like this:

 

ID TO                            FROM                SUBJECT                    DESCRIPTION                          CHOICES    TO    MAKE

2 hasinc@contactus.com  for_mail@mail.com    about the item      computer screen is damage....    ADD          EDIT    DELETE

I do hope that you can help?

On your display page:

<a href=delete.php?id=$id>Delete </a>

 

delete.php would contain:

$sql = "DELETE FROM cghl WHERE id='$id'";
if (!mysql_query($sql,$connection))
{
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo "<p>1 record deleted</p>";
