1. have a delete link next to each output. if its an href you will use GET and if a POST use a form button.

get the id of that user then just use

DELETE * FROM the_table WHERE the_record_of _the_user = '$the_variable you_acquired'

[panhwer]

ur code is right.. on same page only wright this code.

<?php
if(isset($_GET['user_Id']))
{
$user_id=$_GET['user_Id'];
$result=mysql_query("DELETE FROM table_name WHERE user_Id=$user_id");
}
//if user id is string then use single quote marks.
//also wright this code before SELECT statement. mean on op of page.
?>

You have to delete your record from database (sending the row id by POST, GET ...) and than refresh the page.
Previous posts told you how to delete a record using mysql ...

Hi Guys...

Thanks for replying. It's just that what i need help is that the user record is fetched from mysql DB and it's presented in html table. I don't want to delete the user record from mysql. The delete function only flags the record. I have done that already. I know how to do that. But I what I want is that when the user record is flagged, the user record in my HTML table to disappear but not from DB. Basically, I want the row in my Html table to disappear.

Does anyone know how to do it?

[silviuks]

Than select only records that do not have that flag (use WHERE clause in your query)

[raju_boini525]

take another field in db say for example field is recordstatus , set the default value for recordstatus is 1 . when you click delete update recordstatus to 0. refresh the page and display the records(put where condition recordstatus=1).

Your code is embedded and the table and other html displays whether or not their is an output result. Process the delete and add an if statement to verify that there is actually data for the row. If there is, echo the data container HTML, if not omit it.

i think example may help you
<?php
$id = $_GET[id];

$q = "delete from user where id='$id'";
$r = mysql_query($q);
if($r)
header('Location:--.php');
?>
