How to Delete Data from MySQL using PHP & HTML
Ready to manage your database? In this video, I’ll show you how to create a functional "Delete" feature in your web application. We will connect an HTML link (or button) to a PHP script that executes a DELETE FROM SQL query to remove records from your MySQL database.
What you'll learn:
How to pass an ID via a URL parameter (delete.php?id=...).
Writing the SQL DELETE query securely.
Redirecting the user back to the main list after deletion.
Best practices for confirming deletions before executing the query.
⚠️ Crucial Security Note: Always ensure you are validating the ID before running a query to prevent SQL injection!
