Thanks.

just use the delete method using the rows id

mysql_query("DELETE FROM table WHERE id='1'");

Thanks,
but thats manual delete function, need some thing auto delete record function by id, at the moment user only can enter and view data but can not delete. need some function which allow user to click button to delete record.

If you want to keep the same method that you are using for adding a record, you can do something like this:

echo "<tr><td>" . $row['id'] . "</td><td>" . $row['authorname'] . "</td><td>" . $row['publishyear'] . "</td><td>" . $row['booktitle'] . "</td><td>" . $row['edition'] . "</td><td>" . $row['place'] . "</td><td>" . $row['publisher'] . "</td><td><a href='" . $SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "'?deleterecord=".$row['id']."'>Delete Record</a></td></tr>";

//Get the record
$recordtodelete = $_GET['deleterecord'];

//Delete Query
mysql_query("DELETE FROM table WHERE id='$recordtodelete'");

seems their is still something missing, as this is not workin either?

I've inserted my solution into you existing code. (Altho I didn't run it to see if it works) This also assumes that $row is the id of the row in the database as well.

<?php 
$dbcnx=@mysql_connect("localhost", "abc", "xxxx");
/* Connect to the database server */
if (!dbcnx) {
die('<p>Unable to connect ot the database Server. </p>');
}
/*Displays a message if unable*/
/* Now select the test*/
if (! @mysql_select_db('refxx')){
die ( '<p>Cannot selet test database.</p>' );
}

<?php

if(isset($_GET['addrecord'])):

/* if a record is to be added */
?>

<form action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post" >
