Deleting table records - El Forum - 06-24-2012

Hi guys,
Probably a dumb question but how do I pass values from a table to a controller via a delete button?
So I have a table in my view which retrieves values from the database and displays:
User Date
delete Jack 21/05/2012
delete john 20/05/2012
And I've added a delete button like so:
echo '<td align="center">' . "<a href='/codeigniter/auth/delete_avail/" . $date . "'>Delete</a>" . "</td>";
But I have no idea how to retrieve the date from the row to pass as the variable $date to the controller?
Thanks for any help.

hi ozy123,
your table rows are generated via a loop I guess.
Whithin that loop you have 2 possibilities. The first
one is build the delete anchors like
Code:
<a href="<?php echo base_url();?>controller/delete/<?php echo $row->id;?>">delete</a>would make a delete function (or better in your model) using that id you
get from the URI segment.
The second way is to build a form in every singel row, storing the row->id
in a hidden input field. All forms would point to the same controller/method
where you read the id value via input->post('id') and delete the row that way.
Best regards
