Mysql help

[Ini]

Okay well i have a script which i can use to put links and stuff onto my nav.

But..

I need a way to be able to delete them.

I think i need a my page with a sql script so it deletes it form the database by id.

Am i right?

Becuase i aint very good at mysql, could someone write it for me please.

Thanks

Chris

delete them in phpmyadmin

yes, deleting in phpmyadmin will be the easiest

Actually it wouldn't.

When I get back i'll write you a script but all you would need to do is have a drop-down menu and a submit box. When you click the submit box it performs an action such as

DELETE $variable FROM `tablename`

Please note that code doesn't work.

Or something like this:

<?
include "config.php";

if($_GET[action] == "delete") {
mysql_query("DELETE FROM nav WHERE id='$_GET[id]'") or die(mysql_error());
}else{


$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM nav ORDER BY id DESC");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query) {
?>
<a href="?action=delete&id=<? echo $row[id]; ?>"><? echo $row[name]; ?></a>
<?
}
}
?>

So if i have this script:

<?php
include('config.php');
include('header.php');

$q = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM links sort by `id` ASC"); // querys the db

while($r=mysql_fetch_array($q)){ // gets the links in the db

$title = $r["title"]; // the title of the link
$url = $r["url"]; // the url for the link

echo "<table width=\"100%\">
<tr>
<td><a href=\"$url\" target='content'>$title</a><br></td>
</tr>
</table>";
}
mysql_close(); // closes the mysql connection
?>

where would i put it?
