This question already has an answer here:
I have been searching this stuff but could not find anywhere. when i search about button name and value, everywhere its mentioned about input type=button
But i am looking for button type=submit instead of input type=button i want to allow users to remove their comments. So, the delete button is just showing like a link
The Html is
<button class="likeslink" type="submit" name="delcom" value="<?php echo $comid ?>"><small>Delete</small></button>
I am not getting how can i check if this button is clicked or not not using php as i tried
<?php
if(isset('delcom'))
{
$sql = "DELETE FROM comments WHERE id = :id";
$stmt = $DB->prepare($sql);
$stmt->bindValue(":id", $comid);
$stmt->execute();
}
?>
But its not working.
Meanwhile, i want a popup alert message that confirms Delete Query includings Delete or Cancel buttons on it
I don't want that simple javascript alert on the top of the page. I want some popup window in the middle of the screen with my own Color scheme
Please help
</div>
Make sure to get it from the POST
variable to check. This is probably what you're actually intending on doing.
<?php
if(isset($_POST['delcom']))
{
$sql = "DELETE FROM comments WHERE id = :id";
$stmt = $DB->prepare($sql);
$stmt->bindValue(":id", $comid);
$stmt->execute();
}
?>
Basically, just create a simple form to go with your submit button, then use $_GET[]
or $_POST[]
to get the value:
<form method="POST" action="path/to/php">
<input type="hidden" name="dodelete" value="1" />
<button type="submit">Delete</button>
</form>
And the PHP:
if (isset($_POST['dodelete'])) {
// do something
}
You could also just use a normal link:
<a href="path/to/php?dodelete=1">Delete</a>
and then just replace the $_POST
with a $_GET
in the PHP. You could also use a <button>
instead of an anchor
, but you'd have to add an onClick
event to it.
Also, just to let you know, the following sets are the same:
<input type="button" value="ABC" />
and <button tyoe="button">ABC</button>
<input type="submit" value="ABC" />
and <button type="submit">ABC</button>
<input type="reset" value="ABC" />
and <button type="reset">ABC</button>
