How can PHP be used to implement "Delete" and "Edit" buttons next to a table on a website?

To implement "Delete" and "Edit" buttons next to a table on a website using PHP, you can create a form for each row in the table with hidden input fields containing the row's unique identifier. When the user clicks on the "Delete" button, the form can submit a POST request to a PHP script that handles the deletion. Similarly, when the user clicks on the "Edit" button, the form can submit a POST request to a PHP script that redirects to an edit page with the row's unique identifier in the URL parameters. 

<!-- HTML code for the table with Delete and Edit buttons -->
<table>
    <tr>
        <th>ID</th>
        <th>Name</th>
        <th>Action</th>
    </tr>
    <?php
    // Assume $rows is an array of rows from a database query
    foreach ($rows as $row) {
        echo "<tr>";
        echo "<td>" . $row['id'] . "</td>";
        echo "<td>" . $row['name'] . "</td>";
        echo "<td>
                <form method='post' action='delete.php'>
                    <input type='hidden' name='id' value='" . $row['id'] . "'>
                    <button type='submit'>Delete</button>
                </form>
                <form method='post' action='edit.php'>
                    <input type='hidden' name='id' value='" . $row['id'] . "'>
                    <button type='submit'>Edit</button>
                </form>
              </td>";
        echo "</tr>";
    }
    ?>
</table>
