In this article, we updated a troubling record. Well, let's just delete the whole record. In fact, let's delete the record with HTML and PHP!! Easy as pie. First we need a little HTML:
<html>
<head>
<title>SystemsDoc Delete</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<form method="POST" action="sysdocdelete.php">
<table>
<col span="1" align="right">
<tr>
<td><font color="blue">UID to delete:</font></td>
<td><input type="text" name="UID" size=100></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="submit" value="Submit"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
|
We also need a little PHP:
<?php
foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $varname => $value)
$formVars[$varname]=$value;
require_once("config.php");
$db1=mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuname, $dbpass);
mysql_select_db("sysops");
$query="DELETE FROM systemsdoc WHERE UID = \"".$formVars["UID"]."\"";
$result=mysql_query($query);
mysql_close($db1);
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>SystemsDoc Delete</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="white">
Record Deleted<br><a href="index.html">click here</a> to return to sysops.
</body>
</html>
|
Here is what this looks like:
Let's verify the record is gone:
mysql> select manu, model, deploy_date, sernum, sysversion from systemsdoc
-> where UID=8;
Empty set (0.00 sec)
mysql>
|
Piece of cake!
