Deleting Data From Mysql

This document provides instructions for deleting data from a MySQL database using PHP. It describes creating a table called "test_mysql" with sample data. It then shows how to create two PHP files: delete.php displays the table data and includes delete links, and delete_ac.php deletes the row when the corresponding link is clicked by retrieving the ID from the URL and running a DELETE query. The DELETE syntax and retrieving/deleting a row by ID are the focus.
