How can PHP be used to handle button clicks and delete specific data entries?

To handle button clicks and delete specific data entries in PHP, you can use a combination of HTML forms and PHP scripts. When a button is clicked, it can send a request to a PHP script that will process the deletion of the specific data entry based on the parameters passed from the form.

<?php
if(isset($_POST['delete_button'])){
    $id_to_delete = $_POST['id']; //assuming the id of the data entry is passed through a hidden input field in the form
    //perform deletion operation using $id_to_delete
    //example: $sql = "DELETE FROM table_name WHERE id = $id_to_delete";
    //execute SQL query
}
?>

<form method="post" action="">
    <input type="hidden" name="id" value="1"> <!-- replace '1' with the actual id of the data entry -->
    <button type="submit" name="delete_button">Delete</button>
</form>
