Delete - PHP Query Using PDO

  1. <?php
  2. require_once('db.php');
  3.  
  4. $get_id=$_GET['tbl_member_id'];
  5.  
  6. // sql to delete a record
  7. $sql = "Delete from tbl_member where tbl_member_id = '$get_id'";
  8.  
  9. // use exec() because no results are returned
  10. $conn->exec($sql);
  11. header('location:index.php');
  12. ?>
