'Deleting a database row on front end of Wordpress site
I have created a front end page on my Wordpress site where I can submit data through a form, and it will display all the data in a table on the same page. I would like to have a delete option for each row but I am not sure which way to go.
The code I am using to display the database information works fine.
/* Displays Table and Data*/
foreach($cogs as $cogs){
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>".$cogs->id."</td>";
echo "<td>".$cogs->date."</td>";
echo "<td>".$cogs->source."</td>";
echo "<td>".$cogs->items_purchased."</td>";
echo "<td>".$cogs->receipt_total."</td>";
echo "<td>" "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
In the line after "receipt_total," what code should I write? Should I include an anchor tag and link the delete button to another page? I have tried an HTML link, and a HTML button. My problem is making the button or link delete the row from the database. Someone suggested this code, but I am not sure I am using it right. My gut instinct is to place this code in my functions.php file, but I am not sure.
<?php
if(isset($_GET['id']) &&!empty($_GET['id'])){
$id = $_GET['id'];
$table = 'cogs';
$wpdb->delete( $table, array( 'id' => $id ) );
wp_redirect('URL');
}
?>
