PHP : MySQL DELETE Statement
The MySQL DELETE statement is used to delete existing records from a database table. We can delete records based on some conditions.
Syntax:
The following is the generic syntax of the DELETE command to delete data from a MySQL table.DELETE FROM table_name WHERE condition;
- The WHERE clause is very useful when you want to delete selected records in a table. If the WHERE clause is not specified, then all the records will be deleted from the MySQL table.
- We can specify any condition using the WHERE clause.
- We can delete records from a single table at a time.
<?php
/**
* Create Database Connection
*/
$database_server = 'localhost';
$database_username = 'root';
$database_password = '';
$database_name = 'student';
// Create connection using mysqli_connect()
$conn = mysqli_connect($database_server, $database_username, $database_password, $database_name);
// If $conn is false, connection is failed
if (!$conn ) {
die("Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
echo "Database Connected Successfully. <br />";
?>
<?php
/**
* Delete data from a Table
*/
require_once('db-connection.php');
// Mysql query to delete record from table
$mysql_query_statement = "DELETE FROM users WHERE id=3";
if ($conn->query($mysql_query_statement) === TRUE) {
echo "Record deleted successfully.";
}
else {
echo "Error deleting record: " . $conn->error;
}
// Connection Close
mysqli_close($conn);
?>
