You can use php query to delete the data from the mysql database.
Example code:
[php]<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "myDB";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
// sql to delete a record
$sql = "DELETE FROM MyGuests WHERE id=3";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
echo "Record deleted successfully";
} else {
echo "Error deleting record: " . $conn->error;
}
$conn->close();
?>[/php]
Code Explanation:
After we connected to the database. We have used $sql query to instruct the php script to delete the data from myGuest database WHERE id number is 3.
$sql = "DELETE FROM MyGuests WHERE id=3";
On the next statement, we have used if statement to check whether php script has successfully executed or not. if it resulted true then echo statement delete data will be executed.
