How can PHP be used to create a user-friendly interface for managing and deleting data records?

To create a user-friendly interface for managing and deleting data records in PHP, you can use HTML forms to display the data records and provide options for editing or deleting them. You can use PHP to handle the form submissions, interact with the database to retrieve, update, or delete records, and then display the updated data to the user. 

<?php
// Connect to the database
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "database";

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// Retrieve data records from the database
$sql = "SELECT id, name, email FROM records";
$result = $conn->query($sql);

if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    // Display data records in a table
    echo "<table>";
    while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        echo "<tr><td>".$row["id"]."</td><td>".$row["name"]."</td><td>".$row["email"]."</td><td><a href='edit.php?id=".$row["id"]."'>Edit</a></td><td><a href='delete.php?id=".$row["id"]."'>Delete</a></td></tr>";
    }
    echo "</table>";
} else {
    echo "No records found";
}

$conn->close();
?>
