Here is the table below that I'm trying to delete rows out of:
<form method="POST" >
<table class="sortable">
<thead>
<tr>
<th id="makehead">Make </th>
<th id="modelhead">Model </th>
<th id="idhead">Delete </th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php
$i = 0;
foreach ($carArray as $k => $carInfo) {
$i++;
echo '<tr>';
if ($i % 2) {
echo '<td class="make">' . $carInfo['make'] . '</td>
<td class="model">' . $carInfo['model'] . '</td>
<td class="id"><input type="checkbox" name="id" value="' . $carInfo['id'] . '">' . $carInfo['id'] . '</td>';
} else {
echo '<td class="makelight">' . $carInfo['make'] . '</td>
<td class="modellight">' . $carInfo['model'] . '</td>
<td class="idlight"><input type="checkbox" name="id" value="' . $carInfo['id'] . '">' . $carInfo['id'] . '</td>';
}
}
?>
</tr>
</table>
</tbody>
<td>
<input Onclick="return ConfirmDelete();" name="delete" type="submit" id="delete" value="Delete"></input>
</td>
</table></form>
As you can see i'm using checkboxes to tick each row then the delete button will have a confirm message then should delete but it doesn't here is my if statement:
if ($_REQUEST['delete']) {
$dbid = $_REQUEST['id'];
$db->setdbid($dbid);
So when this wasn't working I had a look on here and on other questions people said I need a setter function so i did this: EDIT: this is my class file.
public function setdbid($dbid){
$this->dbid=$dbid;
}
for this main function to delete things:
public function delete($dbid) {
try {
$sql = "DELETE FROM cars WHERE id = '$dbid'";
$this->db->exec($sql);
echo "Car has been deleted.";
} catch (PDOException $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
}
So that's all the relevant code I think, please help me if you can.
You just have to replace some piece of code in PHP :
if ($_REQUEST['delete']) {
$dbid = $_REQUEST['id'];
$db->delete($dbid); //Assuming delete is well a $db method, else replace it by the correct delete call
}
