You can delete records by using the DELETE statement.

Syntax

    DELETE FROM table_name
    WHERE some_column = some_value

Again we used WHERE clause here in the DELETE syntax. The WHERE clause specifies which record or records that should be deleted. If you omit the WHERE clause, all records will be deleted.

    For eg:

    Country Capital
    Zimbabwe Harare
    Poland Warsaw

    <?php
    $conn = mysql_connect(“localhost”,”tutor”,”tutor123″);
    if (!$conn)
    {
    die(‘Could not connect: ‘ . mysql_error());
    }
    mysql_select_db(“my_db”, $conn);
    mysql_query(“DELETE FROM Country WHERE Capital=’Warsaw’”);
    mysql_close($conn);
    ?>

After the deletion, the table will look like this:

    Country Capital
    Zimbabwe Harare
