    <p>I am trying to delete the records from the users table in mysql,</p> <p>the code goes like this.</p> <pre><code>if(isset($_GET['id'])) { //create query to delete the record $query = "DELETE FROM users WHERE id =" . int($_GET['id']) or die(mysql_error()); //execute query if($mysqli-&gt;query($query)) { //print number of affected rows echo $mysqli-&gt;affected_rows. " row(s) affected"; } else { //print error message echo "Error in query : $query " . $mysqli-&gt;error; } } else { echo "Could not Execute the Delete query"; } </code></pre> <p>at the same time i am iterating the records from the users table in the database and it goes like this.</p> <pre><code>//query to get records $query = "SELECT * FROM users"; //execute query if($result = $mysqli-&gt;query($query)) { // see if any rows were returned if($result-&gt;num_rows &gt; 0) { // if yes then print one after another echo "&lt;table cellpadding=10 border=1&gt;"; while($row = $result-&gt;fetch_array()) { echo "&lt;tr&gt;"; echo "&lt;td&gt;" .$row[0] . "&lt;/td&gt;"; echo "&lt;td&gt;" .$row[1] . "&lt;/td&gt;"; echo "&lt;td&gt;" .$row[2] . "&lt;/td&gt;"; echo "&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href =" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']. "?id" .$row[0]. "&gt;Delete&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;"; echo "&lt;/tr&gt;"; } echo "&lt;/table&gt;"; } $result-&gt;close(); } </code></pre> <p>the problem is, i am able to get the records from the database and display it in the browser but when i try to delete the record the first condition does not pass i.e if(isset($_GET['id'])) instead it goes to else condition and print the message "Could not Execute the Delete query " , i guess it is not able to fetch the $_GET['id'] so only it refuses to enter the if condition, </p> <p>P.S :i would appreciate if someone explains me in simple words, i am a newbie to programming, thanks..</p>

    3. COYou don't need `or die()` at the query line, you are just defining a string, not interacting with the DB: `$query = "DELETE FROM users WHERE id =" . int($_GET['id']);`

Querying!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
