I need to delete a specific row in php.. so how could I get the ID or other way to delete a specific record
dbconnect.php just a simple database connection
<?php
$con = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","phpractice");
if(mysqli_connect_errno()){
echo "Database connection failed";
}
?>
index.php the page where the user can see
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../styles/index.css">
</head>
<title>Home Page</title>
<?php include'../script/dbconnect.php';?>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="table">
<?php
$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT * FROM users");
echo "<table border='1'>
<tr>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Username</th>
<th>Password</th>
<th colspan=2>Controls</th>
</tr>
";
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>".$row['firstname']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$row['lastname']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$row['username']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$row['password']."</td>";
echo "<td>"."<a href='#'>EDIT</a>"."</td>";
echo "<td><a href='../script/delete.php?id=".$row['user_id']."'>DELETE</a></td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
?>
<a href="adduser.php" class="button">Add User</a>
</div><!--table-->
</div><!--container-->
</body>
</html>
delete.php the delete script
<?php
include '../script/dbconnect.php';
$id = $_GET['user_id'];
$query = "DELETE FROM users WHERE user_id = $id";
mysqli_query($con, $query) or die (mysqli_error($con));
echo "DELETE USER SUCCESSFUL!";
echo "</br>";
