How can you ensure that complete data records are deleted from a database table in PHP?

When deleting data records from a database table in PHP, you can ensure that complete records are deleted by using the DELETE query with a WHERE clause that specifies the condition for deletion. This ensures that only the records that meet the specified condition are deleted, leaving other records intact. 

<?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);
}

// Delete complete data records from a database table
$sql = "DELETE FROM table_name WHERE condition";

if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
    echo "Records deleted successfully";
} else {
    echo "Error deleting records: " . $conn->error;
}

// Close connection
$conn->close();
?>
