    define ('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

$link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);

}

$db_selected = mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $link);

}
    $value1 = $_POST["emp_number"];

Will u share click button HTML code too? Are you using JS also? If means, share that tooo.. :)

The query have projname = '$valu12'
it should be projname = '$value12'

You can use a unique id to delete a row

Yep, as code_rum has suggested the problem is likely to be caused by a mispelling of a variable.

In the future, a tip to debugging such errors is to either echo out the variables when you get an error (and see if it is null, or has the expected value), or to use the isset() function.

hi guys! yes i saw that one. but thats not the cause. my button was not inside the form. :)

THANKS! :)
