Delete Contact Information

We already did in the tutorial for Insert Contact Information and Update Contact Information. So, I decided to create a follow-up tutorial for Delete Contact Information. We're gonna use Delete Statement to delete data from our database table. This is our data. Result

Delete - PHP Query Using PDO

<?php
require_once('db.php');
 
$get_id=$_GET['tbl_member_id'];
 
// sql to delete a record
$sql = "Delete from tbl_member where tbl_member_id = '$get_id'";
 
// use exec() because no results are returned
$conn->exec($sql);
header('location:index.php');
?>

Delete Button

<a href="delete_contact.php<?php echo '?tbl_member_id='.$id; ?>">
        <button type="submit" class="btn_confirm" onclick="return confirm(' Delete Contact ( <?php echo $first_name?> ) ? ');">
                Delete
        </button>
</a>

Output:

Deleting Data. Result
