The DELETE FROM statement is used to delete rows from a database table.
Delete Data In a Database
The DELETE FROM statement is used to delete records from a database table.
Syntax
<
DELETE FROM table_name
WHERE column_name = some_value
Note: SQL statements are not case sensitive. DELETE FROM is the same as delete from.
To get PHP to execute the statement above we must use the mysql_query() function. This function is
used to send a query or command to a MySQL connection.
Example
Earlier in the tutorial we created a table named "Person". Here is how it
looks:
FirstName LastName Age
Peter Griffin 35
Glenn Quagmire 33
The following example deletes all the records in the "Person" table
where LastName='Griffin':
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","peter","abc123");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("my_db", $con);
mysql_query("DELETE FROM Person WHERE LastName='Griffin'");
mysql_close($con);
?>
After the deletion, the table will look like this:
FirstName LastName Age
Glenn Quagmire 33
ODBC is an Application Programming Interface (API) that allows you to connect to a data
source (e.g. an MS Access database).
Create an ODBC Connection
With an ODBC connection, you can connect to any database, on any computer in your network, as
long as an ODBC connection is available.
Here is how to create an ODBC connection to a MS Access Database:
1. Open the Administrative Tools icon in your Control Panel.
2. Double-click on the Data Sources (ODBC) icon inside.
3. Choose the System DSN tab.
4. Click on Add in the System DSN tab.
5. Select the Microsoft Access Driver. Click Finish.
6. In the next screen, click Select to locate the database.
7. Give the database a Data Source Name (DSN).
8. Click OK.
Note that this configuration has to be done on the computer where your web site is located. If you
are running Internet Information Server (IIS) on your own computer, the instructions above will work,
but if your web site is located on a remote server, you have to have physical access to that server,
or ask your web host to to set up a DSN for you to use.
Connecting to an ODBC
The odbc_connect() function is used to connect to an ODBC data source. The function takes four
parameters: the data source name, username, password, and an optional cursor type.
The odbc_exec() function is used to execute an SQL statement.
Example
The following example creates a connection to a DSN called northwind,
with no username and no password. It then creates an SQL and
executes it:
$conn=odbc_connect('northwind','','');
$sql="SELECT * FROM customers";
$rs=odbc_exec($conn,$sql);
Retrieving Records
The odbc_fetch_row() function is used to return records from the result-set. This function returns
true if it is able to return rows, otherwise false.
The function takes two parameters: the ODBC result identifier and an
optional row number:
odbc_fetch_row($rs)
Retrieving Fields from a Record
The odbc_result() function is used to read fields from a record. This function takes two parameters:
the ODBC result identifier and a field number or name.
The code line below returns the value of the first field from the record:
$compname=odbc_result($rs,1);
The code line below returns the value of a field called
"CompanyName":
$compname=odbc_result($rs,"CompanyName");
Closing an ODBC Connection
The odbc_close() function is used to close an ODBC connection.
odbc_close($conn);
An ODBC Example
The following example shows how to first create a database
connection, then a result-set, and then display the data in an HTML
table.
<html>
<body>
<?php
$conn=odbc_connect('northwind','','');
if (!$conn)
{exit("Connection Failed: " . $conn);}
$sql="SELECT * FROM customers";
$rs=odbc_exec($conn,$sql);
if (!$rs)
{exit("Error in SQL");}
echo "<table><tr>";
echo "<th>Companyname</th>";
echo "<th>Contactname</th></tr>";
while (odbc_fetch_row($rs))
{
$compname=odbc_result($rs,"CompanyName");
$conname=odbc_result($rs,"ContactName");
echo "<tr><td>$compname</td>";
echo "<td>$conname</td></tr>";
}
odbc_close($conn);
echo "</table>";
?>
</body>
</html>
