In this tutorial, we will create a Delete Multiple Row using PDO. This code can contain multiple delete data in the database server with the PDO query. The system uses PHP POST to call a specific function that can delete information that has been checked via javascript code to use the PDO DELETE query that will remove data in the table by providing an id in the WHERE clause. This a user-friendly program; feel free to modify and use it for your system.
We will be using PDO as a query scripting it an acronym for PHP Data Objects. It is a lean, clean, and consistent way to access databases. This means developers can write portable code much more accessible.
Table of Contents
Getting Started:
First, you have to download & install XAMPP or any local server that runs PHP scripts. Here’s the link for the XAMPP server https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html.
And, this is the link for the bootstrap that I used for the layout design https://getbootstrap.com/.
Creating Database
- Open your database web server, then create a database name in it db_pdo_multiple; after that, click Import, then locate the database file inside the folder of the application then click ok.
Creating the database connection
Open your any kind of text editor(notepad++, etc..). Then just copy/paste the code below then name it conn.php.
<?php $conn = new PDO( 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=db_pdo_multiple', 'root', ''); if(!$conn){ die("Error: Failed to coonect to database!"); } ?>
Creating The Interface
This is where we will create a simple form for our application. To create the forms simply copy and write it into your text editor, then save it as index.php.

Creating PHP Query
This code contains the php query of the application. This code will store the data inputs to the database server. To do that just copy and write this block of codes inside the text editor, then save it as save.php.
<?php require_once 'conn.php'; if(ISSET($_POST['save'])){ try{ $firstname = $_POST['firstname']; $lastname = $_POST['lastname']; $address = $_POST['address']; $conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); $sql = "INSERT INTO `member` (`firstname`, `lastname`, `address`) VALUES ('$firstname', '$lastname', '$address')"; $conn->exec($sql); }catch(PDOException $e){ echo $e->getMessage(); } $conn = null; header('location: index.php'); } ?>
Creating the Main Function
This code contains the main function of the application. This code will delete multiple row table using PDO when the button is clicked. To make this just copy and write these block of codes below inside the text editor, then save it as shown below.
delete.php
<?php require_once 'conn.php'; if(ISSET($_POST['delete'])){ if(ISSET($_POST['check'])){ $checked = $_POST['check']; for($i=0; $i < count($checked); $i++){ $id = $checked[$i]; $query = $conn->prepare("DELETE from `member` WHERE `mem_id`='$id'"); $query->execute(); } header('location:index.php'); }else{ echo "<script>alert('Please select an item first!')</script>"; echo "<script>window.location='index.php'</script>"; } } ?>
script.js
Note: To make this script work make sure you save this file inside the js directory.
function selectedCheckbox(check){ var checkboxes = document.getElementsByName('check[]'); for(var i in checkboxes){ checkboxes[i].checked = check.checked; } var count = document.querySelectorAll('input[name="check[]"]:checked').length; document.getElementById('count').innerHTML = count; } function countCheckbox(){ var count = document.querySelectorAll('input[name="check[]"]:checked').length; document.getElementById('count').innerHTML = count; }
There you have it we successfully created a Delete Multiple Row using PDO. I hope that this simple tutorial help you to what you are looking for. For more updates and tutorials just kindly visit this site. Enjoy Coding!
