PHP question

This is probably really dumb but I don't think I am looking
at it the right way at all. What I need to do is perform an
SQL (delete row) query by clicking on a link. I have the php
function defined for the database connection and the query
and stuff but I don't get how I can execute it when I click
a link. If I have it in a file, say 'delete.php' and link to
that, what is the syntax and how can I pass a parameter to
it (to specify which row needs to be deleted) ?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I think you'll need to do it by either having the link point
to "yourfile.php?delete=yes" and have the script detect
whether or not $delete is set, or you'll have to use a form.

you should be able to find apt code online, it'll just have
little comments on where to input your personal data eg
database name etc.

Ah, I've done it. Made the link point to
'delete.php?del=$key. Thanks guys.

I've had trouble with that myself a few times.. I couldn't
figure out how to point a LINK instead of a form to make a
difference on a script, but the answer is so simple, really.
