PHP MySQL Delete Data

DELETE FROM table_name
WHERE some_column = some_value

Using MySQLi:

<?php

// MySQLi Configuration
$servername = "localhost"; // Change this to your MySQL server address
$username = "username"; // Change this to your MySQL username
$password = "password"; // Change this to your MySQL password
$database = "dbname"; // Change this to your MySQL database name

// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $database);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// Delete condition
$user_id = 1; // Example condition

// SQL statement for deletion
$sql = "DELETE FROM users WHERE id = ?";

// Prepare the statement
$stmt = $conn->prepare($sql);

// Bind parameters to placeholders
$stmt->bind_param("i", $user_id); // "i" represents integer data type

// Execute the statement
if ($stmt->execute()) {
    echo "Record deleted successfully";
} else {
    echo "Error deleting record: " . $conn->error;
}

// Close statement and connection
$stmt->close();
$conn->close();
?>

$username = "username"; // Change this to your MySQL username
$password = "password"; // Change this to your MySQL password
$database = "dbname"; // Change this to your MySQL database name

try {
    // Connect to MySQL using PDO
    $conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=$database", $username, $password);
    
    // Set PDO error mode to exception
    $conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
    
    // Delete condition
    $user_id = 1; // Example condition
    
    // SQL statement for deletion
    $sql = "DELETE FROM users WHERE id = :id";
    
    // Prepare the statement
    $stmt = $conn->prepare($sql);
    
    // Bind values to named placeholders
    $stmt->bindParam(':id', $user_id);
    
    // Execute the statement
    if ($stmt->execute()) {
        echo "Record deleted successfully";
    } else {
        echo "Error deleting record";
    }
} catch(PDOException $e) {
