require('db.php');
$id=intval($_REQUEST['id']);
$query = "SELECT * from files where id=".$id;
$result = mysqli_query($con,$query) or die ( mysqli_error());
/* associative array */
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_ASSOC);
unlink($row['path']);
unlink($row['cover_photo']);
$query = "DELETE FROM files WHERE id=".$id;
$result = mysqli_query($con,$query) or die ( mysqli_error());

Id , title , artist, path, cover_photo, size, date this is my structure

hi, your code is insecure, use:

$query = "DELETE FROM files WHERE id=".intval($id);

can you share the structure of your MySQL table?

to delete from host use the unlink, i.e.

unlink($row['path']);

make sure that you select from files where id, then unlink and then do the delete in the database

hello All,

require('db.php');
$id=$_REQUEST['id'];
$query = "DELETE FROM files WHERE id=$id";
$result = mysqli_query($con,$query) or die ( mysqli_error());
header("Location: index.php"); 

here is my php code to delete a the mysql records where id =$id

this one record includes two files (mp3 file & jpg file) $row['path'] & $row['cover'].
I would be very thankful if anyone can help me to find way for delete these mp3 & jpg files also from the host along with the mysql record.
