Hello to all reading this thread. I want to ask you a question about mysql records and more specifically deleting them. I have a database which has a table called orders. In orders I have fields: ID, Name, Date created, Date expire. My question is, how can an order be deleted at the "Date expire" ? I want the MySQL do it itself, so I would not be required to login and delete it mysqlf. Thanks for the time and hopefully I'll get it :) Good day all!

You need to schedule that using Event Scheduler.

Create a procedure to delete the desired records and schedule the same.

please read more here and here.

Although debasisdas has pointed you in the correct direction, if you are on a shared web host, chances are you cannot turn on the scheduler. In that case you may be able to use a cron job.

If the links from debasisdas can't help you, search for "cron job".
