Here is my code -
<?php
$host = "localhost"; // Host name
$username = ""; // Mysql username
$password = ""; // Mysql password
$db_name = "test"; // Database name
$tbl_name = "test_mysql"; // Table name
// Connect to server and select databse.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password") or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name") or die("cannot select DB");
$sql = "SELECT * FROM $tbl_name";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$count = mysql_num_rows($result);
?>
<table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<table width="400" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> </td>
<td colspan="4" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><strong>Delete multiple rows in mysql</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">#</td>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><strong>Id</strong></td>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><strong>Name</strong></td>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><strong>Lastname</strong></td>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><strong>Email</strong></td>
</tr>
<?php
while ($rows = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
?>
<tr>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><input name="checkbox[]" type="checkbox"
id="checkbox[]" value="<? echo $rows['id']; ?>">
</td>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><? echo $rows['id']; ?></td>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><? echo $rows['name']; ?></td>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><? echo $rows['lastname']; ?></td>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><? echo $rows['email']; ?></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>
<tr>
<td colspan="5" align="center" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><input name="delete" type="submit" id="delete"
value="Delete"></td>
</tr>
<?
// Check if delete button active, start this
if ($delete) {
for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
$del_id = $checkbox[$i];
$sql = "DELETE FROM $tbl_name WHERE id='$del_id'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
}
// if successful redirect to delete_multiple.php
if ($result) {
echo "<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL = delete_multiple . php">";
}
}
mysql_close();
?>
</table>
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
What I want is that data rows of the table, whose checkboxes are checked, to be Deleted from the Database on click of Delete button.
I have tried these but it doesn't work well.
Please suggest me regarding the above code how to delete the selected rows from DB, onclick of Delete button.
