Hello Guys,

I want to delete a record from my saved.php
which has a code,

<td><a href=\"delete.php?id=$ID\">delete</a></td>

Which gets the link as
http://localhost/delete.php?id=8022

I then have a delete.php file,

which has this code,

<?php

if(isset $_GET['id']))
{
$id = $_GET['ID'];
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","t","123456");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db("t", $con);

mysql_query("delete FROM t_table where ID='$ID'");

}

?>

But i get an error,

Parse error: parse error, expecting `'('' in C:\wamp\www\delete.php on line 3

Thank you for the help :)

if(isset ($_GET))
{
//code here
}

juist missing "(" for isset.

if(isset $_GET)) is missing a parenthesis, should be

if(isset($_GET['id']))

After doing that i get the following error,

Notice: Undefined index: ID in C:\wamp\www\delete.php on line 5

Notice: Undefined variable: ID in C:\wamp\www\delete.php on line 14

i understand i have ID as undefined so where do i define it?

Thank you

<?php

if(isset($_GET['ID']))
{
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","r","123456");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db("r", $con);
$ID = $_GET['ID'];
mysql_query("delete FROM r_table where ID='$ID'");

}

?>

After doing the following, i get a blank page, which i am no to bothered about, but why isnt it deleting the row which is phpmyadmin is as ID.

Here's the consensus:

if(isset($_GET['id']))
{
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","r","123456");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db("r", $con);
$id = $_GET['id'];
mysql_query("delete FROM r_table where ID=$id");
echo $mysql_query;
}

If you take the echo'd string and run it in phpmysql, do you get an error? What is it?
