How can PHP scripts be structured to handle deletion actions without the need for a separate delete.php page, as discussed in the forum?

To handle deletion actions without the need for a separate delete.php page, you can use a single PHP script that checks for a specific parameter in the URL to determine if a deletion action should be taken. By using this approach, you can handle deletion functionality within the same script that displays the data, making the code more organized and easier to maintain.

<?php
// Check if a delete action is requested
if(isset($_GET['delete_id'])) {
    // Process the deletion action
    $id = $_GET['delete_id'];
    
    // Perform the deletion operation here
    
    // Redirect back to the page after deletion
    header("Location: your_page.php");
    exit();
}

// Your existing code to display data goes here
?>
